Michael,

thanks for the information!

Question: Would it be possible for you to take the set of names that 
contain RTL characters and check if they pass the requirements for BIDI, as 
per the latest draft?
Or do you have a file with the codepoints only that I could use to check?

I don't see any punctuation in there, but in many of these scripts, I 
wouldn't be able to tell one if it was there.....

                 Harald
