I'm not sure what you mean by "frame" here.  DOM element?

Anyway, I looked at the Wikipedia source again, and it specifies "ltr"
as the direction.  And since shr respects those settings (now), perhaps
we should just remove the hardcoded left-to-right default in eww now,
and just let it be nil?  Then the aljazeera site would work
automatically.

There might be pages that render less well, though, but we'd be
following the Unicode recommendations (more)...
