This is part of the internationalization proposals made under HTML 3.0.
"The BDO element is a directional override feature needed to deal with unusual pieces of text in which directionality cannot be resolved from context in an unambiguous fashion. It requires the DIR attribute. The meaning of DIR is different on BDO than on inline text markup elements. For BDO the DIR attribute is a bidi override, forcing the directionnality of even those characters that have strong directionnality. On inline elements, DIR indicates a new directional embedding level, affecting mostly the neutrals and the overall layout.
