Comment:

 I'm enclosing a better patch to address the feed directionality issue. It
 adds directionality characters where needed according to the
 {{{text_direction}}} option.

 However. it is not a very efficient approach at solving this problem, and
 improvements are welcome.

 A better approach might be and individual check of the prominent script
 used in every post, comment and title - directionality can be set
 according to that script.

 For e.g., while many Israeli bloggers write most of their posts in Hebrew
 or Arabic which are RTL scripts, we should be able to identify the
 occasional English post or title and set it to LTR.

 This is also true for comments - some visitors may be fluent Hebrew or
 Arabic readers, but are more comfortable commenting in English. Their
 comments should be displayed properly, from left to right.

 Such behavior can be based on work done in Comment Directionality Plugin
 by Tom Sella (it currently supports only Arabic, English and Hebrew)
