So it looks like this patch just hides all ruby elements from accessibility. I think we want to follow James original suggestion of exposing new roles for these objects so that VoiceOver can treat them as it needs
James suggestion was
-------------------------
WebKit should probably expose some new subroles for the APIs. This containing groups would allow VO and other AT to understand the element relationships.
I suggest the following subroles:
AXGroup:AXRuby
AXGroup:AXRubyInline
AXStaticText:AXRubyText (top)
AXStaticText:AXRubyBase (bottom)
