Subject:        Inconsistent naming for text bidi properties


I'd be interested in folks thoughts about this one.

If textBidi is 'yes' then the following properties come in to play:

- textBidiTextOrdering
- textBidiOrientation
- textBidiSymmetric
- textBidiTextShaped
- textBidiNumeralShape

Two of the properties have 'text' appearing twice in the name. This seems 
superfluous to me. Any reason why these two properties have an extra 
'text' ?

I only noticed this because the IBM DFDL model has coded 
'textBidiTextOrientation' which does not match the spec.
