I have no objection to this suggestion, although I'm not sure when I
personally would use such kind of a down/up-arrow command.

To this, I object. I made the left/right arrows and their
Ctrl-modified siblings move to the left resp. right, regardless of the
logical buffer order, because this is what users of bidirectional
scripts expect -- they are used to it in every other bidi-aware
application out there. By contrast, <home> and <end> always move to
the beginning resp. end of the current line, they have no relation to
either left or right directions.
