I cannot answer for Arabic, but the matter had been discussed at the SII
concerning Hebrew. I haven't seen the question mark inverted, but some
people invert the comma and the semicolon. It had been decided that this is
a rendering issue and not a character set issue.

Have you seen the Arabic comma, semicolon and question mark (060c, 061b,
061f)? See also page 6-22 in Unicode 2.0.
