Unicode paper L2/22-072R: Proposal for amendments to UAX#9 and UAX#31, adopted for the upcoming Unicode 15 release, demonstrates the utility in allowing U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK (LRM) and U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK (RLM) to appear in whitespace, but not to constitute whitespace in isolation. The intent is to allow these marks to be inserted in whitespace in order to restore character directionality that might have been altered by characters in the preceding token.
