Isn't this very similar to a #+MACRO definition but with a different
syntax and only for the HTML backend?

Maybe we could allow backend specific macro expansion definitions.
Something like:

  #+HTML_MACRO: ruby <ruby> $1 <rp>(</rp><rt>$2</rt><rp>)</rp> <\ruby>
  #+LATEX_MACRO: ruby \ruby{$1}{$2}

  Then {{{ruby(東,ひがし)}}} will be expanded appropriately for
  different backends.

What do you think?

Cheers,

PS: Actually on second thought it is probably possible to handle this
    with filters although I failed to find the appropriate filter.

    So you could try:

      #+MACRO: ruby <cookie><$1><$2></cookie>

    And the filter can translate the cookie to the appropriate backend
    specific expansion.
