Bidi problems in KHTML

Hi all. 
The bug #56608 was reported more than a year ago, and as it seems that the 
KHTML developers do not have fixing bidi issues in thier priority lists, I 
decided to make research, and try to fix it my self:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56608

I am currently looking in the kdelibs/khtml/rendering/bidi.cpp to find the 
exact location of the issue, but as I am unfamiliar with the KDE code, I 
think it will take some time. I want to ask: 
- Does KHTML comply with the Unicode Annex #9 (The Bidirectional Algorithm) ? 
- what part of the code handle the cases: 
EN CS EN
and
AN CS AN 
?? it seems that KHTML fails to return to the DirR after the number witht he 
CS is rendered.

Can any of the KHTML developers here help me with the patch, to determine the 
exact location of the problem ?

Thank you very much
