Re: Bopomofo Ruby layout hack

This topic was filed at [1] but since some of people in this thread do not seem to watch the bug, let me reply here.

Are there any strong reasons you want to put the whole sentence into single <ruby> element?

If you break it up to multiple ruby elements, you will:
* no longer need rbspan
* can break lines in the mid of the sentence even before CSS Ruby[2] was done and implemented
and I can’t find any negative impacts.

Do I miss anything?
