Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-ruby] Parent doesn't contain children (#3530)

I feel like my concern is the fact that highlighting can't be applied to containers with `ruby` in them. It does seem like it would be an appropriate solution to have some option to reserve space as if ruby was there. I see that the draft has been updated to mention about "CSS Line Layout Module Level 3" since this bug was opened.

Honestly, I kinda expect that lines with ruby and lines without ruby would be spaced differently, as they are in Word for example. However, typographically speaking, I can see how it would be very advantageous to be able to set a property that would force all lines to be sized as if they had ruby. That would allow a guarantee fit if a line ended up with ruby (like Japanese), but would also allow the document to be styled even if the ruby wasn't present and still have it look consistent and uniform. It would also allow for turning on and off ruby by changing its `visibility` or `display` without causing a reflow.
