What we're basically saying is that the order in Monobook is "wrong" because
it's not a mirror of the LTR version, so people reading RTL would read the
logout link first and the userpage link last. This order is "backwards" for
several reasons (logout link is the first one, user page comes after talk
page), so in Vector we flipped the links around so people reading RTL actually
read the user page link first (on the right side) and the logout link last (on
the left side), just like people reading LTR see the user page link first (on
the left side) and the logout link last (on the right side).

For this reason, we believe that the Vector order is the more "correct" one. I
can see how it'd be confusing coming from Monobook, though. If the hewiki
community wants to use another order, they can rearrange the links with JS.

The Try Beta link was *intended* to appear at the beginning of p-personal,
before the user page link. That's also where it is on LTR wikis: on the left
side. On hewiki in Vector, you'll notice that it's on the right side, because
that's where the personal tools list begins in RTL. In Monobook it would appear
on the left side if it weren't for your local JS moving it to the right. It
seems to me that this backs up the argument that it makes sense for p-personal
to be flipped in RTL.
