For example: > > /* This is the beginning of a comment, */ > /* and this is its continuation. */ But if EOL is a paragraph separator for the purposes of bidi, then your example would be two paragraphs even without the comment syntax, right? As in This is the beginning of a comment, and this is its continuation. So this looks to me to be orthogonal. Which is not to say, that it would not be nice to have a solution, but it seems a problem further down the road.
