What is strange about it? that we all disagreed with you?

I wasn't speaking on behalf of anyone.  I merely told you what we
decided in this forum when we discussed the design of Emacs support
for languages that need bidirectional editing.  Here, ``we'' means
``all those who were interested enough in Emacs support for bidi to
participate, and who knew enough about Emacs internals to contribute
to that discussion''.

So obviously the views and opinions expressed here are only in the
context of Emacs design, they do not pretend to be broader than that,
even if the specific wording might indicate otherwise.  This is, after
all, "Emacs bidi" mailing list, no more, no less.

This _is_ the right place.  I tried to answer your questions, sorry if
I failed.
