I agree, but HTML spec guys don't seem to agree with us :)

It looks fine, but shouldn't we also prefix
"ruby, rb, rt, rbc, rtc { unicode-bidi: isolate; }", and
"rtc:lang(zh-TW), rt:lang(zh-TW) { font-size: 25%; }"?

Leaving "rtc:lang(zh), rt:lang(zh) { ruby-align: center; }" not to start
with "ruby >" is probably fine, though it could cause confusing behavior in
some cases.

And why did you change the font-size for bopomofo from 30% to 25%?
