I know. I cannot speak or read Arabic so I trust our Arabic translator 
that he might have reasons for this. I played around with it and marking 
e.g. "LyX" are LTR text would not harm. (The output via LuaTeX fails 
anyway.)

Here it compiles with XeTeX 0.99997. I only get 3 warnings about the 
font Scheherazade. This font was chosen by the translator.
Apparently there are not so many fonts to chose from:
