I've always expected block-level constructs to
insulate neutral characters from strongly-directioned adjacent characters.
In my class I advise students never to use
<bidi-override direction=""> unless they really
want to mess with Unicode's built-in direction
strength, as every case I can think of
<bidi-override unicode-bidi="embed"> is
sufficient for insulation at the inline-level.
It appears insufficient in Michael's example,
however, and so I have been stymied by his question.

My first idea is to add <fo:bidi-override direction="ltr"> to each
block or maybe only each text node that consist of solely non-Arabic
characters. I guess this could be done using a regular expression like
That will 'un-mirror' the ')' but not change its position. See FO below.
Sorry, yes, 'direction' should apply only to fo:bidi-override. I'll have
to look into what it was doing to fo:block. This will work:
<fo:block><fo:bidi-override
direction="ltr">Brand name (Former name)</fo:bidi-override></fo:block>
