The Java reference code has a "Copyright IBM" but they don't elaborate any
further over eventual restrictions. About supporting Unicode,
BidiReference.java only deals with bidi types that can be found in
UnicodeData.txt.

I've already came up with a solution based in the reference code and a table
from UnicodeData.txt to get the bidi types so, you can drop the MPL question
and the need to get at each others throats. I'm sorry I asked.
