Our implementation treats HTML5 syntax <ruby>東<rt>とう</rt>京<rt>きょう</rt></ruby> as Jukugo-ruby, and it accepts optional rb tags: <ruby><rb>東</rb><rt>とう</rt><rb>京</rb><rt>きょう</rt></ruby> is also possible.

Our default stylesheet defines ruby style as follows:
  ruby { display: ruby }
  rb { display: ruby-base }
  rt { display: ruby-text }
  rp { display: none }

and when rb (or other element with display:ruby-base) is omitted it generates anonymous box with 'display:ruby-base'. It does not mean generating rb elements on DOM.

The reordering is for rendering purpose and would be done on the rendering tree, not the DOM tree. When inline ruby style is used, i.e., display:inline for ruby elements or ruby-position:inline, such reordering is not needed of course.

In my understanding the rb.rb.rt.rt model is needed for accessing the text as "東京(とうきょう)", not as "東(とう)京(きょう)", and the rendered result as ruby (not inline ruby style) must be same as the rb.rt.rb.rt model.
