At this time, I think this will only get addressed with
a contributed patch.

Looking at the drupal url provided for doing bidi, it
appears to be Unicode based, but mhonarc deals with
a variety of character encodings, so something that is
just unicode based would not be sufficient.

If bidi check is to be done, a decision has to be made
on which media-types it would be applicable for.  All
text types?  Or just plain since HTML data should probably
be tagged/encoded correctly already.

I hope this piece of code can help you:

I'm interested in right-to-left as well, but how would the
parser detect that the paragraph is RTL? Is the only way to
do this by analyzing the character set or are there other
indicators?

And if it is by character set, can web browsers be set to
do this automatically (or through use of a special CSS file?)

I mean by right-to-left paragraphs, paragraphs that begin with an RTL character, or several bidi neutral characters followed by an RTL character. See http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#Bidirectional_Character_Types .

Mhonarc doesn't align these paragraphs to the right (example: http://lists.arabeyes.org/archives/doc/2007/February/msg00070.html). The paragraphs are unreadable when they contain LTR characters.
The desired behavior is that the parser detects such paragraphs, and surround them with <div dir=rtl> and </div>. The paragraphs should be aligned against the right margin.
