Unicode yes, BiDi no. They have some screenshots, but if you can read
arabic or hebrew, you'll notice, that all they do is reverse single
words. They don't reverse the ordering of the words. So it would be like
reading a sentence lke the following in english:
.car a is This

Not really what one wants, and I'm pretty sure there wont be any real
BiDi support in Netscape-6.

Most of the framework is there. We would just need someone to glue
things together.
