I agree with you. These technical discussions should
be kept strictly within the merits of the techical
issues and nothing else. Unfortunately software
developers and others in the IT industry are incapable
of having an amicable discussion unless the discussion
is restricted by a very formal and diplomatic format.
Otherwise standards such as Unicode would never come
to be because people would argue with each other
forever.

I suggest that this discussion be continued on the
bidi at unicode dot org mailing list which is the mailing
list where Arabic-related Unicode discussion has
traditionally been. Anyone can register for this list
by:

Emailing ecartis at unicode dot org with "subscribe bidi" as
the subject and nothing else.

I think bidi at unicode dot org has moderated subscription so
someone has to approve you before you get in. If you
have trouble, please go to this form and submit a
request: http://www.unicode.org/reporting.html

Salaam,
Mete
