And in an RTL embedding, the URL

	http://www.foo.com/123/ (logical order)

will display as

	/123/http://www.foo.com (display order)

unless there is some more complex display model than the one that I've
seen proposed.  Given that Hebrew/Arabic users are going to want to be
able to access ASCII URLs for the foreseeable future, if not
indefinitely, this looks like it would be horribly confusing...
