    I would be more than happy to submit or contribute to a proposal for the
    following strongly RTL codepoints:

            0123456789
            ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩
            ( ) { } etc. - all brackets
            ' " ` etc.

    In short, all digits and weak directionals. This would be a wonderful
    thing for Arabic and Hebrew.

    But I get the distinct impression such a proposal would have virtually
    no chance of adoption. Am I overly pessimistic?

    Thanks,

    gregg
