Hi David,

The only way to make RTL \halign in TeX-XeT is to do a construct like

\hbox{\beginR\vbox{%
\halign material
}\endR}

The parsitex change file (http://ctan.org/pkg/parsitex) which is also based
on Knuth TeX-XeT implements a \semihalign primitive that has the reverse
order column of \halign.
