[ISSUE-91] Re: ITS2 ruby issue i18n-ISSUE-210, i18n-ISSUE-215

Hi Norbert,
Thanks you for you input on the Ruby topic. This is to confirm that we 
have now removed the Ruby section from the ITS2.0 editors draft and 
included an appendix H stating:

"H. Ruby and ITS 2.0 (Non-Normative)

ITS 1.0 provided the Ruby data category. ITS 2.0 does not provide ruby 
since as time of writing, a stable model for ruby was not available. 
There are ongoing discussions about the ruby model in HTML5. Once these 
discussions are settled, in a subsequent version of ITS, the ruby data 
category may be re-introduced."

Please inidicate if you are satisfied with the response. If we don't 
hear from you within two week we will take it you are satisfied.

Kind Regards,
Dave
