I'm rather disappointed with Simon's lack of replies (I'll ping him yet
again on this topic) but my suggestion would be to continue on what you
are doing (ie. create your own frierBidi or whatever name you want to
give it :-) with either your code and/or with Dov's earlier work or bits
and pieces from both.  I continue to believe the more people privy and
aware of the Bidi spec (intimately) the better we all are.

Hope that makes sense.

Salam.
