How do you define "behaves enough?"

If you send an email to me about this, or (better yet) post a feature
request to the REXML bug tracker, I'll look into it.  I'll try to
remember to take a look at it anyway, but the chances of it getting
lost is much higher if you don't contact me directly.

The REXML bug tracking page is at:
