Thanks a lot, I will follow up on this.

Indeed, it is XHTML5 based. What is unclear from this document is
whether it supports all of what is currently in the HTML5 draft or just
a subset (only a subset is discussed, but it is unclear whether that
entail that only that subset is supported, or whether it just reflects
what was worth discussing).
It would be most useful to be able to comb through a representative
corpus. I've emailed EBPAJ to ask if they can assist.

Indeed, and the CSS Ruby spec is being worked on in parallel:
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-ruby/
It needs to align with what is done in HTML. We're working together with
fantasai to make sure that's the case.
