[XeTeX] xetex and the unicode bidirectional algorithm.

Keith -- could you possible supply an example of
"a properly encoded utf-8 string" from which it
can be unambiguously determined whether the string
"sang" is an English word (the past tense of "sing")
or a Vietnamese word meaning "to", "posh" or "knowingly"
in English ?  Could you also paste that string into
Richard Ishida's Unicode String Analyser :

	http://rishida.net/tools/analysestring/

and let us know what information it returns ?
