Although we decided to suppress border and padding on rbc/rtc in bug 1055667, but we currently still compute and check their current value, which is not necessary and wastes computation. It could sometimes even trigger unnecessary network request (e.g. for border-image). We should be able to simply give every rbc/rtc an empty struct.

I should defer to a style-system peer on this, I think (heycam or bz or dbaron). (Of the three, heycam may be most-available for reviews right now, I think; though dbaron has reviewed more ruby stuff IIRC, so you could also wait for him to be back from travel, if this can wait a week.)

Two nits though:

This chunk (removing these 2 lines from GetUniqueStyleData) seems like it would affect stuff beyond rbc/rtc...

The second line here needs some wording-tweaks. It sounds like it's saying:
  myNewEmptyStyleStruct = theStyleContext;
which isn't what you mean here.

Maybe replace with "creates an empty style struct for this nsStyleContext" (?)

No, they won't. The two lines were added for rbc/rtc. As shown from DXR result, they are not used in other places. In addition, it seems that only Display and Text are still in use now, which means we probably can remove other two as well.

Can you add a comment in here saying that the new style struct is owned by this style context, but that we don't need to clear the bit in mBits because we've asserted that at the top of the function?

OK. BTW, I wonder can we make them share a same rule node so that we don't need to create one for each style context of rbc/rtc.
Can you also make this new function private?  No need to expose it.  Can you make GetUniqueStyleData private as well, in a follow-up?

Please file a follow-up for this too.

I don't think that's possible, since in general you can style different rbc/rtc elements differently.
Should be good.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: bug 1055667
[User impact if declined]: Useful optimization for Ruby, which we've enabled by default as far back as Aurora; hence, it'd be nice to uplift this to Aurora, particularly this early in the Aurora time-table.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: No change to rendering tests for bug 1055667
[Risks and why]: No risk given css ruby is just enabled several days ago, we won't break things we supported before by this patch.
