Ruby here is a form of annotation used in Japanese, and not a
programming language.  It means that what is a plain string
in English or French may have XML markup in it in Japanese.

Some metadata formats - including RDF - may have difficulty
representing "mixed content" - strings with a mix of
text and markup, like an HTML paragraph.

Sorry for any confusion!
