I found what I believe to be an accidental design error.  Here is a
proposed RFC editor note that would fix the error:

OLD:
   For compatibility with existing Atom documents that rely on direction
   guessing, user agents MAY perform direction guessing in documents
   that do not contain a "dir" attribute but they SHOULD NOT do so when
   an in-scope "dir" attribute is provided.
NEW:
   For compatibility with existing Atom documents that rely on direction
   guessing, user agents MAY perform direction guessing in documents
   that do not contain a "dir" attribute or contain a "dir" attribute
   with an empty-string value but they SHOULD NOT do so when
   an in-scope "dir" attribute with a non-empty value is provided.

The document should specify what takes precedence when there is both unicode control character and a bidi attribute. Without this, there is no way for interoperability in the sense that the generator of a document can ensure that the receiver got the intended result. 

The document should specify what takes precedence when there is html with internal bidi control indication along with an atom level bidi attribute.

Security considerations text should have a pointer to UTR #36,
which describes security issues with bidirectional characters.
