           Summary: Bidi Algorithm should be extracted from RenderBlock and
                    generalized
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: hyatt at apple.com


There's no need for the bidi algorithm to be dependent on renderers.  We should
refactor the bidi algorithm so that a generic BidiClient can be hooked up to
it.  The bidi algorithm can then return BidiRuns to that client and use the
client for iteration and directionality querying.

Then the bidi algorithm can move to platform and be taken out of the rendering
code.
