Hi i18n colleagues, this issue https://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/issues/87 "whitespace change in ruby example" is done, see http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#EX-ruby-implementation-1 I was wondering how to move forward with this issue https://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/issues/91 "parts of the ruby section should be removed" We had various discussions about this in the i18n WG. From these I see two options: 1) remove the section completely 2) keep the section but have it *mostly* (see below) empty, saying "the ruby model in HTML5 is in flux. The ruby section may be updated in a subsequent version of ITS". The original comment https://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/issues/91 said that the local part of the ruby section should be removed. But with that, all that would be left is this sentence in the "definition" section: "The Ruby data category is used for a run of text that is associated with another run of text, referred to as the base text. Ruby text is used to provide a short annotation of the associated base text. It is most often used to provide a reading (pronunciation) guide." We could keep that sentence also as part of resolution aproach 2). The global ruby section is like local ruby specific to XHTML, see the names of the "pointer" attributes at http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#ruby-global so it might be rather confusing to keep the global approach. Besides, since ITS1, it seems there has been nobody implementing ruby globally. Best, Felix
