I don't see how UAs could determine which kana to eliminate. What if the markup were instead: <ruby>振り仮名<rt>ふりりがな</rt></ruby> (After all, many characters need more than one kana for their ruby.) How would the browser know whether to center ふり over 振, hide the second り, and center がな over 仮名, or whether to center ふ over 振, hide the first り, and center りがな over 仮名? The split between container and annotation is what gives the browser the information to do that separation correctly. -David -- 𝄞 L.
