Because, despite repeated notes about this, the discussion attracted close to no interest. Even our calls to the W3C to provide
guidelines went pretty much un-answered. If I recall correctly every single tool implementer noted that their current tools were
using Unicode control characters and didn't see the need for anything else.

So the decision was to provide directionality at the unit level and above, and use control characters for the content.

I doubt the interest has changed.
