I use the "future" 8859-8 (Which will probably have other number
anyway).  The exact name is SI1311-2 which is an extension of iso8859-8
to include diacriticals and bidi marks. 

00-A0 same as 8859-8
A1-D4 are U+0591-U+05C4
D5-DA,DE-DF are unknown to me (I'm still waiting for info about these).
DB-DD are LRO,RLO and PDF.
E0-FA same as 8859-8
FB-FE are LRE, RLE, LRM, RLM.

As this is just "A proof of concept" I'm too lazy to create another
coding system in Emacs - especially as I have no idea on who fonts will
interact with that system. I don't know who to create a new font coding
as well.

These things will be resolved, and everything I do also applies to
Unicode as well.
