I agree, actually this is part of the rationale that brings the
subsequent rules which should be implemented to satisfy the rationale
behind it, and that's why I suggested to move them into rationale document.
In order to improve the flexibility of having AN and EN being mixed in a
label without having label dis-uniqueness problem there are two
candidates in my mind as the replacement of the current bidi text
discuss about forbidding the mix of AN and EN within a label :
1) In cases that the closest strong BIDI character is AL the mixing of
AN and EN is possible according to W2 rule of UNICODE tr9 document.
2) Mixing the AN and EN is possible only if the label contains strong
BIDI character of type AL.
