Unless bdi has an explicitly assigned dir=ltr or dir=rtl, it should behave as if it had dir=auto. See http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-bdi-element, where it says:

Note: The dir global attribute defaults to auto on this element (it never inherits from the parent element like with other elements).

BTW, please note related bug https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63903 (dir=auto should imply unicode-bidi:isolate by default)
