Re: [clreq] How to position ruby and text decoration

The second of the pictures above shows the ruby text above as well as below the base text.  Presumably, this is to avoid the need to move the base characters apart in order to fit the annotations (although that didn't appear to work in the very first line).

[1] is this a common thing to see?

[2] does it provide a way of dealing with underlines? (ie. move the annotation to the other side of the base characters from the underline, just where an underline occurs)

I doubt we need to worry about whether underlines should be drawn below both base and annotation separately – i've not seen that in Japanese, and @ryukeikun seems to be suggesting that it's not something that happens in Chinese either.

> let pinyin and other annotations make enough space for the underline

Not clear to me what this means.  Make the underline far enough from the base that the annotation will fit on the same side? Or move the annotation to the other side? A picture would be very useful here.
