Re: [jlreq-d] Proposal: making ruby breakable (#19)

One reason InDesign (and I assume others) did not implement jukugo ruby is due to the overhang allowed when unbroken, causing the different width broken to unbroken problem and how that affects layout complexity and performance. Mono ruby and group ruby can, in a static world, be used to achieve most of the layout possibilities of jukugo ruby manually. I hope that more engines explore supporting jukugo ruby in dynamic layout in the future, because if that remains "too hard", then breaking ruby anywhere and preserving the overhang and spacing required for good quality will also be "too hard". The easy way is just throw ruby above the base and not bother with all that, but that will be a big step backward.
