However, if you do that as a matter of course, and then someone comes 
along and wants to style the whole page so that, say, all base text is 
hidden for accessibility reasons, then they wont be able to style the 
initial base text in each ruby element.  I think it's better to 
recommend that each item in a ruby element start with either <rb>, <rt> 
or <rtc>.
