I am sorry for any confusion this remark of mine may have caused.

Thank you, Martin, for the clarification.
Regrettably, I have not yet a copy of the Unicode standard in my
hands (though I have asked our library to provide one); all I have
is a copy of the ISO 10646-1 standard (of 1993). So all I know about
the bidi algorithm is from this discussion group. I should have said
so before entering the discussion.
Best wishes,
Otto Stolz
