It's pretty much on ice, until Emacs-21 will be finally released,  Which
should happen very soon now (TM).  currently there is a primitive (read
"low level") support for L2R/R2L, but no real bidi implementation above
it.  Once 21 is out, Handa-san, the person that implemented the above
support will have time to port it into the release version, and work
could begin.
   Some ideas about the right way to implement this have
where discussed by Eli Zaretskii and others some time ago on one of the
Bidi/Herbew mailing lists, but no clear conclusions seem to have been
drawn.
anyway, once Emacs-21 will be out, I expect that things will start
moving, and people willing to help will be needed.
