Thanks for the great work.

These tests do not match the spec. In the CSS Ruby spec,
`ruby-position` can only be applied to <rtc>, not <rt>. If you follow
that spec, and set the property for <ruby>, then Firefox should work
properly, otherwise, that would be an bug of Gecko.

These tests do not match the spec, either. The property `ruby-align`
only affects the box it is applied. To make ruby base work, you need
to apply that property to <rb>, not <rt>. Alternatively, like
`ruby-position`, set the property on <ruby> and just let the
descendents inherit it, you should get the expected result, otherwise,
that would be an bug of Gecko.

Hmm... This seems to be a real bug for us. Thanks for pointing that out.
