Good, thanks.

BTW: I recall Fredrik noting that isolated markers for bidi had the issue of not working well when the first characters of their
content was weak, so I don't know if we should recommend anything other than "look at AUX#9". Since we won't have dir on segments we
don't have to do any conversion between markup and control characters normally.

Since <ph> is always empty there is no content to apply the dir attribute.
You have a dir attribute on <data> if you want to apply such info to the content of a <ph>.
