I did some digging on this, and I couldn't find a way to make this work with a literal in the route itself.

get 'baz/*ark_tag/:id/bar' => 'welcome#index', constraints: { ark_tag: 'ark:' }, as: :ark

It's a little fussy with URL helpers, as you need to always specify ark_tag or you'll get an error:
ark_path(ark_tag: 'ark:', id: 1234)
You'll probably want to define your own helpers that hide that.
The other, bigger issue is the OTHER features of the ARK spec that are going to confuse & annoy the default URL parser. In particular:
* the dot-separated components of VariantPath elements. The default Rails behavior appends a `.:format` optional parameter to the route. This *doesn't* allow further dots.
* the `?` and `??` suffixes. The single question-mark, in particular, is only detectable if you check the original request URI in the Rack request. I'm also unsure how to talk the regular path helpers into producing a single-question-mark URL.
If you're building an application which relies on complex routing of ARK URLs, you may want to consider writing your own Rack middleware to hijack the URL parsing process and transmute them into something more palatable to the existing router.

Yes - don't do that :-)
See https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt , specifically Section 2.2 on
reserved characters.
