I guess you are probably right on these override marks issues. But I have
to admit that I never tested bidiv on such things. I initially designed
bidiv for ISO-8859-8 text, which is very common in Email, plain text files,
etc., and UTF-8 support was more of an afterthought. Obviously, ISO-8859-8
does not have these extra override marks, so I never tested them.

By the way, I hope that whatever new solution fribidi will have for
line-breaking, it won't have to process an entire logical line at once,
because that's inefficient with huge lines (not that's very useful... but
still...).
