By the way; Korean (among other writing systems) seems to have been
overlooked: it is often written vertically: i.e. Top to Bottom, Right to 
Left.

Other significant writing systems sometimes written Top to Bottom:

Chinese [Top to Bottom, Right to Left],
Mongolian (when written in Khitan small) [Top to Bottom, and Left to Right].

If Livecode aims to be really universal it needs to accommodate these 
possibilities.
