I read all the messages in the thread from the beginning.
First, I want to remind that UAX#9 only deal with converting logical
order to visual order, and not how to create the "Logical" text.
I think that we should separate the ordering for display (your code)
from getting the input (input method or keyboard layout).
It seems that both Microsoft and the Xorg developers decided to use
mirroring for Hebrew keyboard (see /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/il).
So if the user uses an external "input method" (i.e. keyboard map)
the 4 pairs - () [] {} <>, are already mirrored. If she prefers to
use an Emacs internal input method (like I use with my hebeng.el)
the mirroring should be an option.

BTW. The keying of the RTL text and arithmetic expression discussed
previously on the thread, Typing (from left to right):
"A B C D ( 4 + 5 ) * 9" results in: 9*)4+5(DCBA
That is because of parens mirroring (at the keyboard).
