Hello,

Before you call this thread a waste of time, and out of curiosity.. what

were the considerations put forth which determined the way the bidi
algorithm is (uax#9). Ie. what were the pros and cons of a reversible
bidi?

Also, who make up the 'bidi community'? The users or the developer(s)
of the bidi algorithm?

Thank you

The BIDI algorithm is not reversible, and could not be made reversible without eliminating features that are important to the bidi community. This was considered at the time the bidi algorithm was developed.

This thread is a waste of time.
