I see it thusly: If this reader _consistently_ codes RTL, storeing latin script backwards, then this RTL would indeed be a visual order. Likewise, if you _consistently_ store logical order backwards, so to pronounce the base chars chronologically you work from the end of the file to the beginning that would still be a logical order.
