Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: I've no intention of ever adding <rb> or <rtc>. This is a minor
feature and should not be overengineered. Complex ruby is a classic case of the
danger of overspecialisation (where a group of people are experts in one area
and come up with a design to solve 100% of use cases, without seeing that in
the big picture the feature as a whole is rather minor and doesn't need to
cover more than 80% of use cases). HTML should remain simple, if you want
something that covers more semantics, use DocBook.
