A couple of people have posted about this topic on this list in the past
(do please check Arabeyes' search engine on its webpage and/or google for
the info). Here is a thread worth pursuing [1] (the link(s) within are dated
though), you should certainly contact the author 'Moayyad Al-Sadi' to come
up to speed on his findings and do please relay the info back (and hopefully
document it for the benefit of others),
