WebCore now passes the direction (in the bidi sense) up to the WebKit port when notifying of a new title. This information should be sent on to the browser so that it can display the title of the page properly. See bug 58823.

It is incorrect to just reverse the characters of string. The reversing only happens at rendering time -- the string always remains in logical order until the bidi algorithm is run.

Is this bug still valid?

This is still a failure on the Windows port. Not sure if other ports work properly.

All 'title-directionality' related tests are skipped or marked as failure. Additionally, Blink also removed these tests and test functionality: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?view=revision&revision=156607
