    <p>I think that the "Typeset by the bidi package" message is much
      too modest. It should read something along the lines "Typeset by
      the bidi package developed by Vafa Khalighi for over 12 years
      without any funding or donations." In fact I think that every
      class/package used in a document should typeset similar wording
      about itself and its provenance on the top of the first page of
      any (All)TeX document. Many classes and packages have been
      developed over many more than 12 years, particularly TeX and
      LaTeX.<br>
