If MRI is considered the gold standard, then obviously it's 100% correct. Of course, it can't be considered the gold standard, since minor things change from release to release; so I'd say all parsers would be some percentage of "complete" given some implementation-independent definition of "Ruby". But perhaps that's just my opinion :) It's hard to say anyone is "correct" when there's no language specification. - Charlie
