The question is, what is "exciting", and what should we do when we
"bail out"?
If by "exciting" you mean the paragraph beginning, then the question
of the paragraph direction is still there.

Right, but I can easily concoct an example of equally un-exciting
long paragraph that is full of R2L text, and should be displayed
starting at the right margin of the window.
