Sure. At the same time, these are exactly the kinds of rules we _don't_  
want to deify. The people who write these things are not typographers. The  
bidi algorithm mixes text-editing needs with typesetting needs. We have to  
examine bidi from a typography perspective, then integrate the parts of  
the algorithm that make sense in that context (no pun intended) at the  
lua-extension level.
