Research direction

No file or test path is named in the issue. Locate the existing rt element entry in HTML-Aria, then add corresponding rb and rtc entries using the linked HTML Ruby Markup Extensions definitions and the same ARIA sections as rt; done means both elements are represented consistently.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In addition to the existing ruby and its rt and rp sub elements, the HTML Ruby Markup Extensions is (re)introducing (by unobsoleting) the rb and rtc elements. (See the introduction and appendix B for rationale.) They should be added (back) to HTML-Aria.

Relevant links to define the elements are: https://www.w3.org/TR/html-ruby-extensions/#the-rb-element and https://www.w3.org/TR/html-ruby-extensions/#the-rtc-element, respectively.

In both cases, I believe the entries for Implicit ARIA semantics (explicitly assigning these in markup is NOT RECOMMENDED) and for ARIA role, state and property allowances should be the same as for rt.
