Agreed. HTML5 ruby, as it stands now, can be folded into a either a row-major
model or a column-major model, so aside from the parsing algorithm (Bug 13113),
it does not create a conflict with moving forward on a row-major model. It just
means that in a row-major model, the HTML5 markup is only capable of producing
group ruby, not jukugo ruby. But a row-major model can easily be a superset of
what's in HTML5 today.

parsing algorithm changes that would make HTML5 future-compatible with row-major
ruby markup)
