I actually assumed this was going to be "we'll mess up your left-to-right content in the same way rtl content is messed up" :-/
The page got the "RTL punctuation forced to the wrong side of the line" issue perfectly. Was there something specific you were thinking about?
I'm looking for bullet points folded onto the text itself, broken parentheses and broken directionality switching mid-sentence when interleaving multiple languages :)
One of the workarounds I sometimes employ is to tack on a spurious single letter of the desired directionality before a closing parenthesis.
Ah yeah - I think it needs a custom editor (instead of all the browser provided versions) so that it’s basically broken, which also works for IMEs :)
