Some may consider URLs irrelevant in this discussion, but if you have
an RTL TLD with a trailing digit followed by a path with a leading
digit, the TLD gets split up, with one piece on one side of the slash
and the other piece on the other side.

(I don't know whether actual bidi users would find this objectionable.)
