I see.  Is there currently any sensible way to get the best of both
worlds (short of tracking the embedding marks status and stuffing the
active ones at the begining of every line)?  I think that recovering
the line breaks from the logical-visual mapping could work but the
following lines might need to be collected from non-adjastent
places...
