Actually, I would have preferred if ruby was gloss as part of a general annotation element, but the i18n and HTML WG decided to limit it to a format-related element rather than a logical element. Also, gloss perhaps tends to evoke some idea of commentary, while a ruby text seems to be for companion pronunciation/spellings mostly. I still think this is unfortunate, but it would have been too difficult to get passed through all the interested parties, I gather. Cheers Rick Jelliffe
