  I would like to see support for HTML5 ruby annotations (“furigana” for Japanese). The tags ruby, rt and rp would be whitelisted (note that there is also an obsolete XHTML ruby spec that defines more tags that are not defined in HTML5). The current HTML tags whitelist do not include these tags. To my knowledge, these pose little risk, if any, to whitelist as they’re effectively for presentation.

  The MDN article on the ruby tag gives an example on their usage.

  A use case for this is for Japanese learning posts. I would like to be able to easily and cleanly show the pronunciation for each kanji character in a word.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This would allow many Japanese/Chinese learners to blog about their adventures and open whole new doors for the WordPress community.

  Howdy all. Just wanted to let you know support for those tags have now been added.
