I wonder if _anyone_ has actually scrutinized the differences, instead of
just swallowing what XHTML 1.1 presents as "the differences". I know that
the presentation contains essential omissions, but I don't know how many.
(Nobody has offered to pay me for such work, which _should_ have been made
by people who wrote the specs.)

Actually, you don't have to live without. IE, which is the only browser out
there that has some (partial) Ruby support, happily interprets Ruby markup
even though you use good old HTML 4.01 kind of markup. Besides, as we know,
IE does not interpret your document at all if you declare it as
application/xhtml+xml, which is what XHTML 1.1 tells you to use.
So in order to use Ruby in any manner that results in _anything_ at present,
you _must not_ use XHTML 1.1.
