is it:

- because the unicode standard does not handle BIDI inside HTML, as
  far as i know?

- because the unicode algorithm does not handle the case when you do _not_
  know the screen width in advance, in order to break long lines into
  shorter ones?

btw, please don't start an argument about this. if you can think of a
proper way to handle this, just let me know (or implement it yourself and
compete ;)  ).
