I don't know of a way with the latest release, but if you don't mind using
CVS head you get handy prev= and next= methods on XML::Node, e.g:
XML::Parser::VERSION
# => "0.3.9"
xd = XML::Parser.string('<foo><bar/><baz/></foo>').parse
# => <?xml version="1.0"?>
<foo>
<bar/>
<baz/>
</foo>
bar = xd.root.child
# => <bar/>
bar.prev = XML::Node.new('boo')
# => <boo/>
bar.next = XML::Node.new('too')
# => <too/>
xd
# => <?xml version="1.0"?>
<foo>
<boo/>
<bar/>
<too/>
<baz/>
</foo>

Sounds cool, is it online yet?

Hmm, are you using the SAX parser? My first implementation is painfully
slow, I underestimated the overhead of proc callbacks. Since 0.4.0 is up
next, I'm thinking of breaking the API (it's new anyway) and replacing the
Sax parser with a method-based one... My prototype is a bit faster than
the current one, and I'm still working on it.
If it's not that, I'd appreciate if you'd send over your benchmarks and
I'll see if I can figure it out.
Cheers,
