Comment 1 C. Scott Ananian 2014-06-24 20:33:31 UTC 
To elaborate: <rb> is listed explicitly as a "non-conforming" feature.  Is <rtc> non-conforming as well? (The parsing of these tags differ between the W3C and WHATWG specs, see https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26187 ).
Comment 2 C. Scott Ananian 2014-06-25 15:06:40 UTC 
Support for parsing <rb> and <rtc> has landed in webkit (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131175) and gecko (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664104).  Are there any technical objections to adding these to the WHATWG spec?

Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-06-25 15:30:03 UTC 
<rtc> didn't exist until some browsers added it, that's why it wasn't listed as obsolete. There are arguments against it, see bug 20114 and bug 20115. However, if browsers are ignoring the spec and implementing it anyway, then it's time to ignore whether it's a good idea or not, and spec it because it's reality...
Comment 5 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-06-25 18:46:08 UTC 
If browsers do decide to continue down this flawed path, here's a few tests (though given the complexity of ruby in the HTML spec I imagine we'll need many more):
