So I guess the risk here for allowing <rb> but not changing the auto-closing
here is that authors might falsely think <ruby><rb>A<rt>B<rb>C<rt>D</ruby>
would work. But is that a real problem given that
<details><summary>A<div>B</details> doesn't work either? (though admittedly
<ruby> is more like <dl>. One might argue about the inconsistency that <rb>
doesn't have the auto-closing behavior of <rt> and <rp>, but we are deprecating
<rp>, which I would agree to be a completely useless element, in the long run
for authors, so I think this is less like a problem) And you could always do
<ruby>A<rt>B</rt>C<rt>D</rt></ruby> instead of
<ruby><rb>A</rb><rt>B</rt><rb>C</rb><rt>D</tt></ruby> if we make <rb> optional
and you don't need extra tags to make you confident to use ruby.
