I am wondering why there have been no reactions to my mail. Or, do people discuss about double-sided ruby only for justifying optional rb elements rather than committing to HTML double-sided ruby? Note that double-sided ruby "is also very rare.", according to JLRec. http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-jlreq-20111129/#choice_of_sides_for_ruby_with_respect_to_base_characters Regards, Makoto 2012/2/22 MURATA Makoto <eb2m-mrt@asahi-net.or.jp>: > Should HTML (and CSS) support double-sided ruby?
