This will probably give good results on many pages, but I think it won't
work correctly in all cases. This is because some HTML constructs, like
DIR=..., BDO, and similar things, will never reach your "farsi" program
so it will sometimes combine ranges of characters of the same language
that should not have been combined before reversing, and stuff like that.
I'm getting similar problems when I use "lynx -dump | bidiv" (obviously
your solution is more convenient because you still get to control lynx
interactively).
