WebKit already supports <ruby> ;)

Seriously, this was already discussed in the past. See this thread:
https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2011-December/018775.html
The consensus is that supporting non-standard languages would hurt the web,
and that is a bad direction for the project.

The direction of WebKit seems to be toward integrating JavaScriptCore more
closely with WebCore. This may make your project a little bit harder to
maintain.
