Since the (X)HMTL standard, which the ePUB and MOBI formats are partially based on, already has sufficient
RTL support tags for every conceivable scenario, I don't think that ebook authors should be forced to use workarounds, just because Adobe forgot to correctly implement RTL support in ADE.

I totally agree with you on that. Too bad that there's no fully ePUB compliant Open Source ePUB reader software for mobile devices.
