org-ruby is in it's current form not capable to do that, but it's
currently actively developed [fn:1] (maybe not for org-mode standards :-D, the last
commit was 8 days ago) and there are a few items on the todo list.

And all shortcomings aside, an update on github/markups side would at
least make the usage of org-documents on github bearable.

Only sufficient demand for org-documents will foster betterment I guess.

Kind regards,
Tom
