--- Comment #5 from Michael M. <[email protected]> ---
Actually, I don't think the lang attribute should *ever* have any influence on
the direction of the text. It can be used to select an appropriate font, but
only the dir attribute, <bdi> and <bdo> tags, and the unicode-bidi CSS property
should have influence on the writing direction.

So I even expect

<span lang="ar">niẓām at-tašābuh</span>, <span lang="ar">rawādif</span>

to render as

niẓām at-tašābuh, rawādif

(and even if you treated lang="ar" as an override on the direction, the result
should be

hubāšat-ta māzin, fidāwar

as it would be for <bdo dir="rtl">, but not the strange partially reversed
display that currently is produced.)
