IRI bidi spec

aharon: martin sent me a useful email about our intention to review
... said it's not ready for review
... but need participation in discussion
... usual contentious issue: whether RTL IRIs should display entirely RTL
... without introducing serious usability issues
... since mixed IRIs might be hard to read
... not clear if there are solutions yet
... intend to send responses on list.

addison: (summarizes current iri state)
