Given that:
the UAX is specific to plain text
emacs' modes uses faces to differentiate syntactically different
text runs
the latter is essentially the same as (invisible) markup
then one could conclude that bidi runs always should be intra-face and
never inter-face, yes?
How well does >>back to default on face changes<< translate to the level
where emacs' bidi works?
