There's a thread that's just started in the Atom syntax WG on the subject of bidirectional content in Atom feeds. It seems they're currently proposing an ...
Using the unicode controls are likely the only reliable mechanism. If bidi in RSS is required, use UTF-8 and insert RLE's and RLO's as appropriate. - James...
At this point, I think we should simply document the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm. Does anybody have any other experiences working with bidirectional...
... The unicode direction formatting codes only deal with part of the problem. They tell the text renderer in what order to process a string of characters. ...
Question. This isn't a problem with description, which can contain escaped HTML and the dir attribute (as Sam points out), but is a problem with title, which...
Yeah, I know, but for the plain text elements in RSS there really isn't another option without introducing a dir attribute or some extension element or just...

... This would be ideal, but unfortunately there are a lot of feeds that still consider the description element to be plain text (as in RSS 0.9x). Take a look...
Just use HTML for everything is likely a problem considering that most RSS client/publishers work otherwise. So, I would go with option #1, add dir where...

This is open for debate. IMHO. The spec, on the other hand, if read literally, is clear on the matter. Thanks, Randy Charles Morin http://www.kbcafe.com/rss...
I updated the RSS profile to reflect the spec's rule against extending core RSS elements with attributes in a namespace. The Introduction section now includes...

If we call this an error, I'll propose a change to the spec to allow extension attribute. Please try and be civil instead of trying to create an issue. This is...
