[clreq] Where should tone marks be positioned when bopomofo appears over horizontal text? (#660)

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

== Where should tone marks be positioned when bopomofo appears over horizontal text? ==
Normally, bopomofo annotations appear to the right side of each base Han character.  However, in some cases, bopomofo can appear over horizontal text (much like pinyin).  In those cases, are the non-neutral tone marks displayed after the bopomofo characters on the same line, or are they rendered above the other bopomofo characters?

@fantasai is asking this question so that she can set the default expectation in CSS where bopomofo is displayed without the inter-character value for ruby-position.
