Looks gorgeous in Safari.  Again, I don't read Arabic, so I can't tell what
it's saying, just that it looks nice.  (Arabic strikes me as a very pretty
language.)

Interestingly enough, the highlighting is backwards.  If I press and drag
the mouse button from the right edge of a line, the background highlighting
starts from the left edge.  It appears Apple doesn't have all the kinks
worked out.
