There is further work we are doing in bug 1836962, though we may have to change approach because introducing invisible characters is proving to be complicate, we must manipulate the selection and that breaks a ton of tests and may introduce regressions.
It may be possible to "simulate" the same behavior in the input field itself (we breifly discussed this with @jfkthame), but in the meanwhile we could decide to just not trim when directionality changes after trimming.
Just wanted to point out that work is ongoing.
