No it is not. Some features are still missing.

You can write your own tags in Ruby similar to Xalan/Xerces and
you can write XPath extension functions in Ruby. 
The advantage is that you can use Ruby instead of JavaScript or one of the
other supported languages by Xalan/Xerces.

The ToDo list lists them. The following tags are currently not implemented:

  <xsl:copy-of>
  <xsl:param>
  <xsl:variable>
  <xsl:text>
  <xsl:output>
