Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-ruby] (Ab-)using `ruby` for HTML footnotes? (#5891)

Per CSS, you should be able to customize the rendering of anything other than replaced/semi-replaced elements.* But Firefox is the only browser that supports the CSS ruby model; the other browsers have all hard-coded it, the way table layout used to be hard-coded into browsers before they supported the CSS2 table display values.

That said, the markup you choose should generally be something that degrades reasonably when not using CSS. :) Ruby might work OK for short footnotes like citation info, but long ones seem problematic...

<small>* Footnote: ;) There's a few HTML elements whose rendering can't be described in CSS yet, so those aren't always customizable.</small>

Does that answer your question?
