  '''[[YS-''' It seems maybe too generalized. ruby and translatibility are very different things. Using XPath to point to elements that are ruby seems rather strange (not to mention very complicated to process): why in the world would someone want to put that info anywhere else than in the actual element? I could see {{{its:ruby="yes"}}}, but using XPath would make things a bit confusing (you could point to an attribute for example, but an attribute could not have rb/rt info), also what about cascading/inheritence effects: they would be different for ruby abd translateYes?''']]'''
