Yes, of course you are right. However, many of the older LaTeX
packages are not being developed very actively any more (or not at
all in some cases) so it makes it difficult to decide what to use
when one need the functionality of some of the older packages but
also wants to work with unicode, etc.<br>
<br>
Anyway, you have certainly done a great deal to make bidi very
functional and I am very grateful for that.<br>

For how long have bidi and ednotes been incompatible?
François Charette , who maintains arabxetex and works on
polyglossia, wrote an example file showing how to use
arabxetex + bidi with ednotes to produce critical
editions, so I assumed there would be some effort to keep
the packages compatible. <br>

Well, certainly bidi can not support every single package on
CTAN, one would need unlimited resources to be able to do
that. bidi itself is now too big, it supports around 100
packages. Unfortunately the concept is misunderstood, it is
not the duty of bidi package to add support for other
packages but other packages themselves have to add bidi
support. bidi should only support standard LaTeX and
considering this, I have done heaps more than I ought to do.
So it makes sense if you contact the author of ednotes
package and ask him for bidi support in his package. <br>
