Alternatives to validator.nu gem for ruby HTML5 validation

The validator.nu gem throws YAJL deprecation warnings and occasionally fails completely citing issues with the HTTPStream. Are there any stable ruby gems that will validate HTML5 documents?

e.g.

req1.9.2p320 :001 > require 'validator.nu'
DEPRECATION WARNING: Yajl::HttpStream is going to be removed in 2.0
DEPRECATION WARNING: Yajl's Gzip support is going to be removed in 2.0
DEPRECATION WARNING: Yajl's Deflate support is going to be removed in 2.0
=> true

Try my new HTML validation gem, html_validation. It's a rewrite/rebranding of another one I had done that people weren't finding, so it is based on some fairly well tested code. It runs locally, not through a web api. It uses HTML Tidy, put out by W3C.

The living-validator gem does away with the YAJL dependency in favor of HTTParty and JSON. The github project is here: https://github.com/DynamiX-Web-Design/living-validator. It is also compatible with hosting your own living validator instance.
