The simplification of removing the really redundant -ruby is excellent. Of course it will break continuity with the gem history. Should we be using the 2 in libxml2 to mirror the tie more literally? As for the XML namespace, that can be done easily and compatibly by offering an include that equates the XML const with the LibXML const. We can also fix the location of version consts as well.
