The discussion that was behind this bug was:

# [21:44] <zcorpan_> Hixie: btw why can't </rt> be omitted?  
# [21:46] <Hixie> in the syntax or in the parser?  
# [21:47] <zcorpan_> both  
# [21:47] <Hixie> didn't really think about it  
# [21:48] <Hixie> just seemed simpler this way  
# [21:48] <Hixie> i guess if people want we can make it optional  
# [21:49] <zcorpan_> i saw subtitles with seemingly deliberatly omitting </i>
by just looking at a handful  
# [21:49] <zcorpan_> doesn't seem like a stretch that people are going to omit
</rt> especially since it's optional in html  
# [21:49] <Hixie> yeah seems reasonable  
# [21:49] <Hixie> file a bug and i'll look into it
