That's not funny: it might be one of the reasons.

I don't think your fears are justified. The bidi algorithm (_any_ bidi
algorithm) is table-driven. All I was talking about was slight changes
in the tables which drive the algorithm. Problems that result from
incorrect tables are therefore easy to fix: just change the tables.
Such problems are also easy to spot: since any given character
category includes more than one character, you don't need to wait for
long before the display shows incorrect results: they really stand out
for someone who knows the language.
Something that is easy to spot and easy to fix should not scare us, I
think.
