thats what i've been saying... im 100% compliant with that code.
at least 100% for the implicit side...

should all be fixed. except 1, where you're in debug mode.

i need someone to tell me how to generate the dancing ':'.
because if i cant see it i cant fix it...
there are some issues with bidi, that are in the Algorithm but
are not essential for ordinary display, like explicit marks and their
61 maximum levels. i think we'd better get simon moving on
including the patch before we'd include that stuff in akBidi (or
mini or whatever)..

there is a problem here, i need simon to tell me where to put
the initializing code (i.e declarations and mallocs) and the resizing
code (i.e realloc). or i could just look for myself and "Afty".

remember when i told u the shifting has a problem of where to shift
from ? i.e to shift all chars before the LAA or all after the LAA ?
i could pass a param from the Bidi code to the Shaping code indicating
the paragraph level (i.e its direction) and shift the other way.

- BTW: i mentioned before that i needed someone to look at the
mirroring code. its not a Bidi thing, its a programming thing. i need
someone with good programming experience and someone != me
to look at the mirroring function and tell me what he thinks.
im looking for comments like, "use a hash table", "use an array", etc.
