As the HTML Activity Lead, I strongly recommend NOT to pursue that

Right.  Ruby was designed for XML vocabularies, such as XHTML 1.1.
XHTML 1.1 was NOT designed to be backwards compatible with HTML
browsers.  In particular you SHOULD NOT serve XHTML 1.1 documents as
'text/html'.  See XHTML Media Types Note for details.
