[clreq] (1) Dialectal checked tones and (2) new zhuyin positioning images

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/clreq:

== (1) Dialectal checked tones and (2) new zhuyin positioning images 
==
3.3.3.3  Positioning of the Tones in Zhuyin Symbols, bullet 2
http://w3c.github.io/clreq/#h-h-positioning_tones_in_zhuyin

It is not explained in the document what dialectal checked tones are, 
when they are used, nor how they are constructed.  At least, with the 
previous diagrams showing real examples, it was possible to get an 
clue of what this was about, but the new diagrams now make things 
harder to understand. (compare with 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-clreq-20150723/#h-positioning_tones_in_zhuyin)

Can we perhaps reintroduce the images showing real examples in 
addition to the new charts? I think that for many of the target 
audience of this document, having the real examples is also very 
helpful to understand what the section is talking about, not just wrt 
dialectal checked tones.

I think, however,  we need some additional textual description of what
 dialectal checked tones are and how they function.  Also the previous
 images showed two marks involved in dialectal checked tones. What 
code points are used for those marks?  What rule govern the display of
 those marks?

Also, the new diagrams show the tone marks as being the same size as 
the phonetic characters, whereas the real examples showed them as much
 smaller. What's that about?

Finally, there is chinese text in the new images. Can we indicate the 
meaning of that text, either by a note in the caption or text or by an
 english version of the graphic?
