Dear colleagues, Let me introduce myself. I am MURATA Makoto. I am the coordinator of an internationalization subgroup of IDPF EPUB Working Group. To be precise, this subgroup is named EGLS (Enhanced Global Language Support). I am writing this mail to solicit feedback about the support of ruby in HTML5. HTML5 supports ruby (or Zhuyin Fuhao). One important difference between the ruby in HTML5 and that in "Ruby Annotation" (W3C Rec) is the rb (ruby base) element. HTML5 does not have it, while "Ruby Annotation" does. This issue is now being discussed in the HTML WG, and a co-chair (Paul Cotton) is soliciting proposals. In Japan, the rb element is used in, for example, in Yomiuri newspaper. In China, is the rb element widely used? Kenny will explain more about this issue. I am looking forward to his summary of the upcoming discussions in this mailing list. Regards, Makoto
