I'm not sure whether we'll be including an additional ruby library but I  
am planning to implement most of the points suggested in those prototypes  
directly in C. As I mentioned in my post a moment ago, I've today brought  
Enumerable into play on Node::Set and XPath and am hoping to get C-side  
each-xxxx methods on the Node / Attr / etc. before this week's out.

I'll admit at this point that I've not deeply studied the additions Mark  
made in the ruby code, so I may well 180 on this 'not including ruby code'  
in the near future :->

Cheers,
