@nigelmegitt no, I do not agree; this requires further discussion; furthermore, the recent addition of isolate value is not reflected in current TTML/IMSC implementations;
It's an example. I wouldn't have thought this change would be problematic, since the spec allows one to do this. One would hope that changing the example would have the effect of encouraging people to implement support for that value, if nothing else. It's certainly desirable to isolate spans in bidrectional text.
@r12a my primary concern is that the addition of isolate is a very recent change with generally unknown implementation support; the current value is not technically incorrect, so I would prefer leaving it in place for the time being, and we can revisit this issue at a future point without prejudice;

It is recommended to always use isolating bidi controls, rather than embedding, since it solves many problems for RTL scripts.
Therefore we recommend an editorial change to this example, to encourage good usage: change tts:unicodeBidi="embed" to tts:unicodeBidi="isolate".
