[moving to github from https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28265]
i was just reviewing this with a mind to close our i18n tracker issue for now (and reopen as support for the other aspects of the html5 markup model spreads), when it occurred to me that webvtt doesn't support the rb element.
This is widely supported in browsers (see the test results at http://www.w3.org/International/tests/repo/results/ruby-html#position), and i think it should therefore be supported by webvtt. Adding it allows for additional styling options, as well as reducing the potential for confusion in authors, who are used to using it in HTML.
Note that HTML5 supports all of the following:
<ruby><rb>...</rb><rt>...</rt>...
<ruby><rb>...<rt>...
<ruby>...<rt>...</rt>...
