Looks great.

I'm already using whitespace scopes in a number of my languages for  
theaming up the different tab levels visually.

One thing that I'd like to see done is scoping a single line ERB  
block and a multi-line ERB block as such, so you can style them  
differently.

Also scoping the different types of embedded tags differently <% %>, < 
%= %>, etc…
	I'm already doing that in my personal Rails HTML syntax.
