Nothing says both can't be done... Ross is right, however, in that
Node::Set is important and shouldn't be nixed, even though most of the
folk out there won't use it once an array interface pops up. Ease of
use and REXML compatibility should be a focus, however, and eye'ing
their API and shimmying libxml into REXML would be a better use of
effort and better way of picking up users/"speeding up ruby." -sc
