[i18n-activity] How to carry directional information with a string and handle insertion

r12a has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== How to carry directional information with a string and handle 
insertion ==
If someone selects a bidirectional phrase from a paragraph that has a 
RTL base direction, it will almost certainly be useful to know the the
 captured text came from a rtl context, and when inserting such text 
into a new context, it may be necessary to take some action to isolate
 and assign base direction to the inserted text if the base direction 
of the new context is different.

Do you envisage any way in which:
1. the base direction of the source context is to be detected
2. the base direction of the selected text is to be captured and 
stored
3. the base direction of the new context is to be detected and action 
taken, where necessary, to protect the directionality of the inserted 
phrase
