Yes, I think it should be supported in Gecko myself.  Their is a plugin
however for firefox that loads the page, parses, and rerenders the page
to be correct using tables I think.  It's fairly annoying to load the
page twice, but it works in firefox already -- just not in epiphany.

Attached correct MSIE renderering screenshot.  You'll see the furigana
are made smaller and rendered above the kanji instead of just rendered
with 'fallback' support.  Furigana are kana written above kanji to aid
in reading for native language speakers for uncommon or confusing words,
and to aid those that can only read kana.  The Ruby standard is just
beginning to be used by Japanese language websites,  since being added
to the XHTML 1.1.  I think now is a good time for OSS browsers to
support it.
