May be you could have corrected the "ISO 6429 (ECMA-48)" equivalence.
From what I read in ECMA-48, fifth edition, it extends the 4th edition which was
approved in ISO 6429.
But I don't think that the amendments in ECMA-48 for bidirectional controls
where included in a later edition of ISO 6429 for now.
Interestingly, I don't know if those controls added in the 5th edition of
ECMA-48 are encodable directly with Unicode, given that the "Bidi" controls that
are implemented are not completely equivalent to the Unicode Bidi format
controls (or at least I can't find a mapping for them because names don't
match).
