Why couldn't we just have all stuck with Linear B?

Possibly, I don't know enough about it, but I think having a LTR input and RTL output is going to be troublesome.

Agreed.
But there might be a way to test for support and set the order accordingly?

I'm wary of any workarounds. I think the answer is proper RTL support, which we currently don't have.

An interesting discussion here..
