Re: [bidi] Re: BIDI in mail addresses

If this is indeed what Jony says, then this is Jony's personal view and
does not  necessarily reflect what other people in our area will want to
see!
What if anybody using Arabic or Hebrew or Farsi or Urdu  wants to access
one of the URLs which are in English? will he see the URL entirely
reversed?

What Jony is saying, I believe, is that people would like to see, in an
Arabic
or hebrew context, something like the following:

...http://ABC.DEF/GHI.htm...
displayed as:
...htm.IHG/FED.CBA//:http
