           Summary: New ruby parsing rule breaks some real web sites.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: yuki.sekiguchi at access-company.com


New ruby parsing rule was implemented at r167437. Gecko also implemented it at [1]. After landing in Gecko, we found that some real web sites were broke by the change[2]. Although the broken site[3] used invalid markup like "<rtc><rp>(</rp>foo</rtc>", we should not break the real web sites. Then, spec change was requested to W3C[4], and HTML5.1 nightly spec was changed[5].

We should follow the spec change not to break the web.
