I think this is more or less what the Unicode bidi algorithm recommends (using the corresponding Unicode characters, of course, not e-TeX commands). I have to check.
Actually no, it expects you to use the non-breaking space (U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE) as a digit separator instead of the normal space. Sequences of digits interspersed with non-breaking spaces are not reordered by the Bidi Algorithm, contrary to what happens when you use a normal space. Of course this is not practical in ConTeXt for the moment, as the non-breaking space isn't treated as such (or is it?). Arthur
