No, CrossWire will never release a module that intentionally violates the 
Unicode standard (such as this would).  If the renderer that GnomeSword 
uses does not automatically apply BiDi algorithms, the UTF8BiDiReorder 
filter may be applied to do so within Sword before text is sent to the 
renderer.
