Sorry, I was talking about the code that was developed and is
currently hosted by m17n,

  http://www.m17n.org/emacs-bidi/index.html

As far as I know the code developed by m17n is _not_ in Emacs' CVS
repository (my info might be dated though).  What Alex had commented
on in his initial post, I believe, was with regard to m17n's code
(his usage with ERC, etc) and my comments were to that end as well.
m17n.org's additions are _very_ usable and accurate from a user's
prospective and they (or similar :-) ought to get folded-in.  As
there has been a plethora of posts on this topic and there is
movement in that direction, this post/opinion is non-consequential.

Sorry for any possible confusion.
