Bidi layout of the linked page follows the spec. HTML and CSS do not have a
concept of a "neutral" base writing direction which is resolved based on
content (e.g. by the first character with strong directionality) like Mac OS X
does. The initial value of the 'direction' property in CSS is 'ltr'.

The text view used to display the source in Safari (which is not part of
WebKit) appears to be using a neutral base writing direction, so that
"paragraphs" that begin with an Arabic letter are laid out as RTL. In that
case, what looks like "<p/>" is correct.
