No design docs, but the Ruby text is built using a Ruby builder,
which makes it sound fine and ready to go... except that the API
to the builder allows arbitrary text strings to be appended, and
the API assumes modules and extend() etc... Basically the builder
API needs to be cleaned up to encapsulate the semantics and to not
assume Ruby. Then when doing the first *other* language, cleaned
up some more to catch the things you missed the first time. :-)
