Sorry for the confusion. By semantics I meant what should happen for DOMs 
like:

   <p> ... <rp> ... </rp> ... </p>

   <p> ... <rb> ... <rt> ... </rt> </rb> </p>

   <p> ... <ruby> ... </ruby> </p>

   <p> ... <ruby> ... <rb> ... <rp> ... <rt> ... <rt> </rp> </rb> </ruby> </p>

...etc. What would those "mean"? What would they be displayed as? I mean, 
sure, they're non-conformant, but what should UAs do?

The specs on Ruby currently at the W3C (both for CSS and for XHTML) are 
woefully inadequate in terms of describing error handling rules right now.
