I fear that is an optimistic assumption - rather than looking at XHTML I
suspect authors have pragmatically looked at what works in browsers. And
with IE having been the only browser with a <ruby> implementation for a
long time (not to mention market share), I suspect most content to target
that. But I admit I don't have hard data on this, either.

WebKit at least only has rudimentary support for ruby overhang and - by
extension - Jukugo rendering at the moment. There certainly is room for
improvement.
