Not true. Look at the code. The algorithm is almost the same, and I don't 
really know of any open BiDi bugs in there. If you do, send them to me. I 
don't see any reason to replace the BiDi implementation in khtml by the one 
in Qt. It's just a lot of work for nothing.

Concerning khtml: We will just continue doing our fixes as we did before. 
Maybe we will even do most of the work in the 2.2 branch then, to get another 
stable release of html/kjs out. It is even easily possible to support both 
Qt-2 and Qt-3 at the same time in khtml (I've tried). Nothing has been 
decided here.
