Nothing. Simply the DocBook schema used by XMLmind XML Editor does not 
include the ITS vocabulary.

See docbook-apps mailing list message about this topic here:

There is no sufficient demand for this feature, therefore it's not 
implemented.

We currently support Ruby only as part of HTML5. See 
XXE_INSTALL_DIR/demo/xhtml/xhtml5-objects.html. See corresponding 
attached screenshot (with the "Emulate Web Browser" CSS stylesheet 
selected).

If authoring your structured document in DocBook is not absolutely 
mandatory, an alternative would be to use our HTML5-based (hence having 
Ruby support) ebooks. See tutorial "HTML5 as an alternative to DITA and 
DocBook", http://www.xmlmind.com/tutorials.html

(As a bonus, with ebooks, the deliverables, PDF, EPUB, DOCX, WebHelp, 
etc, look much better than what's created using the stock DocBook XSL 
stylesheets shipped with XMLmind XML Editor.)
