http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-ruby/#ruby-position describes which side of the base characters the ruby text should be on, but I don't see anything there or elsewhere in the spec that describes how far from the base characters the ruby text should be. (There's a detailed description of how the position, once known, affects line spacing, but I'm asking what the position is.) It seems to me that the spec should describe how the ruby text is positioned relative to the bases (i.e., what metrics of both the base and the ruby text are used) and whether properties like vertical-align have any effect on this positioning. If some things are undefined because we don't know the right thing yet, that should be stated explicitly, along with the constraints on the answer that we do know. -David -- 𝄞 L.
