Re: [jlreq] [simple-ruby] Leave room for manual overrides (#200)

If this were a normative specification, it would be important to be clear about what is a should and what is a must, and where the extension points are.

However, it is not that kind of document, and I think it is better to focus on simply describing the method as it is. In any real system, there will be much more complication brought by interaction with other features (or other languages), as well as a desire for further nobs and levers to tweak things, but that's out of scope here, and would complicate the body of the text.

However, if this is just about adding a sentence to the introduction, without complicating the main text, then why not. For instance, we could add towards the end of [1.2](https://w3c.github.io/jlreq/docs/simple-ruby/#web-ruby-placement)

> The following is a proposal for a simple processing system. The target audience is implementers and specification writers. **It is expected that a full system may be more complex that what is described here, both due to the interaction with other features or other writing systems, and because those designing such system may wish to provide additional options.**
