The jury seems to be still out on whether it's desirable to add tones as 
a spacing character after letters in some cases, rather than combining 
like a diacritic, so i'm inclined to think that there may be some 
stylistic possibility.

Like Xidorn, i was unable to see the any special bopomofo tone mark 
positioning on the latest webkit nightly.  Here's the code I used:

ruby { ruby-position: inter-character; }

<ruby>好<rt>ㄏㄠˇ</rt>了<rt>˙ㄌㄜ</rt></ruby>

<p>ㄏㄠˇ˙ㄌㄜ</p>


What I see for the ruby is equivalent to ruby-position: over.  For the 
para i just see the tone of the first syllable after the letters.
