we have several approaches:

the oldest method is based on some heuristics and targets at tex input 
in the sense that we assume tagging and directional switches

the other two are unicode bidi based (successive versions and there 
might be more as that evolves)

in any case, everything bidi / rl has to fit into some system and that's 
something idris and i are working on (well, we did at some point but we 
need to pick up that thread) ... so maybe you can trigger idris into 
onthology mode and help him
