[HTML5 Ruby] A typo and a question for Tag omission rules

Hi,

A typo is in the “Tag omission in text/html” section of the <rp> element[1]:
> An rb element's end tag may be omitted if the rb element is immediately followed
> by an rb, rt, rtc or rp element, or if there is no more content in the parent element.
The first two “rb” are typo, should be “rp”. Note that 8.1.2.4 Optional tags section[2] looks ok.

A question is about the “Tag omission in text/html” section of the <rt> element[3]. While rb, rtc, and rp elements auto-closes with rb, rt, rtc, or rp, only rt does not auto-close with rtc. Is this intentional? I can’t find good reasons not to auto-close rt with rtc.

Double-sided ruby examples in the spec looks like expecting rt to auto-close with rtc, so I wonder this may also be a typo?
