Ilya's suggestion to add a friendlier method to set the direction in tags
is indeed very understandable. I am currently trying to find some
developer time to satisfy it. Note that this entails a change in user
interface (an added feature), which will need approval by Mozilla
instances, so it may take a while until we can start the actual work.

I second this. Mozilla's Composer is an excellent solution for simple
documents. Is there any chance you guys will add Left/Right-Ctrl-Shift
bindings for changing the editing widgets' strong BiDi directionality?
(As it is today, I gotta edit the document manually to add DIR=RTL)
