For normal text, it doesn't even need to suppor that, just bidirectional Unicode:

[Latin: ABC] [Hebrew: DEF] [Latin: GHI]

should be rendered as (assuming "DEF" are actually Hebrew characters):

ABC FED GHI

because the Unicode characters have an implicit direction "built-in", no need to use CSS properties to override that (normally).

Browsers tend to do it properly, for instance:

Hebrew, שיר השירים, Shir ha-Shirim

where I wrote & #1513; (ש, shin) first and & #1501; (ם, mem) last.
