Description
The bdo tag provides a semantic-free method for switching text-direction within a single page. e.g.,
<p>This text will go left to right.</p> <p><bdo dir="rtl">This text will go right to left.</bdo></p>
Support for it was silently added in r2896, and then removed without much justification in r2924.
I think there are valid use cases for the tag, and don't see any reason to prevent people from using it.

After reading more, it seems like
<div dir="rtl">
is the better way to handle the uses cases I was thinking of, and it's already allowed.<bdo>
is intended more for edge cases.It should probably still be allowed, but is much less of an issue than I originally thought.
