You are right that these elements are currently obsolete in the HTML specification. However, this will hopefully change. The main reason that they are not in the HTML spec is not because they are thought to be a bad idea, but rather than they are currently lacking two browser implementations. Firefox does implement them, and Amazon kindle does implement rtc (but does not count as a browser, for the purpose of the WHATWG, who maintains the HTML specification). (As an aside, not that all browsers do support parsing rb and rtc, including the handling of optional end tags, even if they don't all do anything useful with these tags at the moment). An [agreement has been reached between W3C and the WHATWG](https://www.w3.org/2022/02/ruby-agreement) that W3C will work on an extension specification for ruby, which will cover those. It has not yet been published, but an early, unofficial draft can be found at https://w3c.github.io/html-ruby/. One of its appendices goes into some detail about why restoring these elements is useful: https://w3c.github.io/html-ruby/#diff-html The plan is therefore not to remove the use of these two elements from CSS-RUBY-1, but rather to restore them as valid markup. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10065#issuecomment-1998757427 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
