Spaces and exponents?

It looks like spaces indicate where "words" are, and within brackets the order of some numbers is reversed, but values with exponents aren't.  Maybe values with exponents aren't recognized by fribidi as being numbers?

It seems that the result depends on space characters:

$ echo '[1.23,4.56]' | fribidi --rtl -t
[1.23,4.56]                         =>                         [1.23,4.56]
$ echo '[ 1.23 , 4.56 ]' | fribidi --rtl -t
[ 1.23 , 4.56 ]                     =>                     [ 4.56 , 1.23 ]

But:

$ echo '[1.23e17,4.56e-89]' | fribidi --rtl -t
[1.23e17,4.56e-89]                  =>                  [1.23e17,4.56e-89]
$ echo '[ 1.23e17 , 4.56e-89 ]' | fribidi --rtl -t
[ 1.23e17 , 4.56e-89 ]              =>              [ 1.23e17 , 4.56e-89 ]
