[Bug 114441]

[David-kostyk]

This is INSANE!! I think calling this a "bug" since late-1999/early-2000
is a complete misnomer: this is simply a part of the HTML5 specification
that Mozilla has deemed "ignorable." (Though I have a feeling that if
the majority of Mozilla Devs. read Asian text with any frequency,
suddenly it would be implemented…)

Why the Ruby tag got the shaft for support is beyond me, but it seems
the developers don't want to implement it because it's too "complicated"
and would require extra processing time. Well, either put forth the
effort and implement it as efficiently as possible, or just admit that
Mozilla has no plans to ever implement this part of the HTML5 specs
because they're an American-based (read: English-speaking) company which
sees no immediate need for Ruby text. This is exactly why IE dominates
China: they can actually read their text reliably on the browser!!
