Based on some research by Ed this will be deferred until the next release. See comments below...

I've tried to chat with Steve about this, but he's not followed up recently. And Cam was also promising to send a note, but that never happened. Clearly everyone is too busy with other things.

I've carefully read the small amount of documentation available and it's very clear to me that this problem is still wide open and that the resolutions, if any, are poorly understood. For example, a label provider doesn't know what orientation its labels will be used in, and hence doesn't know what directional characters need to be inserted. Also, when we fetch a message, we don't know if the message will be translated, so we don't know whether we need to add characters to force a particular orientation. The problems are many, the solutions (if you can call them that) are poorly understood and not so accurate, while the experts remain in short supply or out of touch. So I would suggest that none of these will be resolved in this release cycle, and that no real user will be bothered by that fact.

If this were really a serious problem, my efforts to get involved and help arrive at a solution would not have run into dead ends so many times. So assuming this is important, it's something that we should start looking at in depth at the start of the next release cycle, not at the end of this one.
