Findability, copyability

[hftf]

Excited to see progress in web Ruby! If Ruby didn't have challenges enough (modeling, layout, and fine-tuning), it might be good to consider findability and copyability sooner than later, at least as the needs for representation are concerned. It's not obvious to me which technology is responsible, so centralizing a discussion here seemed to make sense, but feel free to close if out of scope in this repository.

In this more general issue (CSSWG #3460), I bring up the need for more control over findability and copyability, two primitive manipulations that become more complex in annotated documents. Briefly, with respect to Ruby, findability requirements could be improved by an optionally branching search algorithm, and two context-menu options "Copy with annotations" and "Copy without annotations" could possibly fulfill the majority of user needs for copyability (or analogously for selectability maybe).

Appendix B of the draft touches on the existence of possible issues involving findability (searchability) and copyability, but just in the context of supporting both interleaved versus tabular ruby markup.
