Brion says that RTL language support is really poor in Android 2.x . 3.x+ does a much better job.

This seems to be independent of the general rendering problems with Arabic; things seem to be left-aligned outside the main content area.
This affects:
- page title
- main page sections
Regular page content appears to be right-aligned as expected.
The bodyContent (the regular page content) contains a wrapper which forces the language & direction properly:
<div lang="ar" xml:lang="ar" class="mw-content-rtl" dir="rtl">
whereas there appears to be no such thing inside the title or main page sections. So when we extract them, they end up sitting in what's an overall LTR/english context by default.
Probably should grab the lang & dir attributes from the whole web page and slurp those in, if possible. They appear to be on the <html>, not on the <body>.
