ap: This bug is about interpreting Visual Hebrew as Logical Hebrew - i.e. purely encoding related, so if my understanding is correct then dir=rtl doesn't seem relevant.

FYI: Mozilla has code to detect logical/visual Hebrew: 
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/extensions/universalchardet/src/base/nsHebrewProber.cpp

Wikipedia says that the ISO-8859-8 encoding can represent either logical or visual Hebrew so my guess is that we need to add similar logic in WebKit.

While this doesn't affect many modern sites, there is a long tail of legacy sites that are affecte. It appears that WebKit is the only major browsing engine that doesn't display these correctly.
