My memory is that Matz said, at one or more of the RubyConfs, that he himself did not intend to devote the time to writing a formal language spec for Ruby but had no objection in principle if people wanted to. I'm not sure whether he indicated he might grant it official status. As others have said, I think the test suite is a key measure of what something that claims to interpret Ruby should do.
