It wasn't a suggestion, it was a question. Please say whether it helps?
As a testing hack I've set up control buttons on one of our test wikis to change the CSS 'direction' and 'unicode-bidi' values at edit time.
Here's a copy of the Hebrew Wikipedia main page source; since the test wiki is LTR it shows LTR by default, but you can switch the edit box around with the buttons: http://test.leuksman.com/edit/New_page
(Briefly tested in Firefox 1.5.0.2 and Safari 2.0.3.)
It's pretty ugly, but being able to switch in the unidirectional mode at will might be helpful.

Thanks a lot Brion! If you know how to use it it can be very practical because it has different modes.
At http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%A9%D7%98%D7%A2_%D7%... you can see that I found a half a dozen of syntax errors and more cosmetic issues.
It seems to be very practical to have the *option* to disable tidy (which is not activated on many wikies outside the WMF).
This is starting from a copy of the Main Page fo Yiddish Wikipedia http://yi.wikipedia.org/ Of cause the Monobook skin of FiverAlpha is LTR and not RTL. I also added 'direction: rtl;' to the table cells and changed font-size and font-family to a more traditional one known from printed books.
I can keeping testing also on the copy of the Hebrew Wikipedia main page source.
dankegon!
