So if you wanted to see my nick going the opposite direction, you just type floWSJ and there you have it. Not that difficult a concept really.
It's more complicated that that. You have issues such as paragraph indents, which need to be on the right, rather than the left. Lines need to wrap on the left rather than the right, and so on.

It'll need to wait for readers to support ePub 3, which does have support for RTL languages, before they can sensibly be used for languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. Until then, using PDF is (unfortunately) the only real solution, with all its attendant problems.
