I Googled for ruby annotation markup and found:

http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/
"'Ruby' are short runs of text alongside the base text, typically used 
in East Asian documents to indicate pronunciation or to provide a short 
annotation. This specification defines markup for ruby, in the form of 
an XHTML module"

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're suggesting - it could be 
structure within the property values or peer properties providing the 
ruby markup or something else :)

I'd liek to see something simple and useful go into FOAF and extend it 
elsewhere.
