I like how they have a dedicated section for mixing Japanese and western language: https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#japanese_and_western_mixed_text_composition https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#japanese_and_western_mixed_text... I wonder if there are considerations for other combinations, such as mixing Japanese with right-to-left text. Maybe the other combinations are not nearly as common?

It is common in some contexts. Unicode also has within it formatting rules for a lot of this stuff although not the kind of rules you’ll find in a manual of style or a typesetting rule book. Japanese can flow top to bottom and right to left as well with in books that are read left to right.
