Unicode includes the default writing mode for each character. Thus, Arabic is automatically presented right-to-left. If you want it presented left-to-right, you need to use the bidi-overide attriute of fo:inline. This also allows you to embed left-to-rigth text into right-to-left data (e.g., English words embedded in an Arabic stream).
