Some languages (Arabic, Hebrew, and more) are written from right to left and need support for directionality control buttons, like tinymce has by default. Drupal 6 is RTL aware, and it would be a good addition to this.
I've written the start of a plugin for this. it's still not totally usable, more like a stub.
I've also added an issue to yui library sourceforge issue tracker, but it would be easier to tackle this from the drupal side, i think.
https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2221571&group_id=16571...

The proposed plugin contains three different files, that should be placed inside the yui_editor/plugins dir.
After that, enable the button from admin (just an rtl one implemented)

You don't need to register this, but to enable it on the YUI preference page...
