The problem you mention, is because the Unicode bidi is used for data
entry, which I believe should not be. It will be hard for plain bidi users
to understand and work with. It should only get used as a display
algorithm, in my opponion, as specified in the spec. And that is
reasonable, I believe.
Implementors who use that to simplify implementing bidi data entry for
themselves are to blame, which are almost everyone in the global market.
