Close, but the actual intention is specifically an arrow pointing in the same direction as the ASCII approximation of an arrow points. When the character sequence "-->" appears within RTL text, this means a right-to-left arrow: א --> ב. This is the crux of the issue.

Thank you for clarifying what that document is. Could the people involved with that discussion be contacted to weigh in on this issue?
