I'm not sure. I think so. Maybe that was Doug Ewell's suggestion
which is discouraged as stateful.
Right now, on my text editor, I right click and select the
directionality of the paragraph. That's what I did on that picture at
the end (which shouldn't be confused with right alignment). This
doesn't go to the higher level and higher level shouldn't change that
(which unfortunately is not always the case).
I wished the same power over language identity (which theoretically
shouldn't get lost in higher level).
Kurdish text should remain Kurdish wherever it goes. It shouldn't be
treated as Arabic or Persian. It should be treated as Kurdish
otherwise the font features specifically dedicated to Kurdish won't
be activated and it won't be displayed correctly. I suspect that
there are other languages out there that are heavily dependent to
this identification too.
