[css-ruby-1] Multiple latin words alignment #772

space-between/space-around

I think it would be useful to have some text, or another illustration, showing what would happen if you have more than one word in narrow-cell annotations. For space-between, my assumption is that if you have a two word annotation in Latin script over a longer base, the left edge of the word on the left would be flush with the left edge of the base, and the rightmost character of the other word would be flush with the right edge of the longer item.

That could leave a good sized gap in the middle. There is a test for this at:

https://www.w3.org/International/tests/repo/run?base=css-ruby-1&batch=css-ruby&test=ruby-align-property/ruby-align-space-between-004.html

which shows that Firefox leaves a gap between the two words, but that Internet Explorer stretches the inter-character spacing to avoid the large gap in the middle.

Are either of those correct, or is just one appropriate, or is it specifically undefined? Either way, i think the spec should say something.
