FWIW, when you display internationalized domain names, and mixed RTL and LTR contexts (overall, in a label etc), you can get "interesting" results when characters that have not directionality (like numbers) are displayed adjacent to punctuation.

See http://stupid.domain.name/node/681 for an example.
