Let me say that I was just pointed there's already a lib with (almost) 
same name:

   http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-xml-simple/

I'm not robbing name. I just picked it up from the PHP world. And this 
lib name (if there's ever going to be one) will of course change. The 
functionality of that lib is almost the same as mine. Syntax is not 
completely same but close, and that version is written in C so it's 
faster in magnitudes, I'd guess.

I see point of having pure-ruby simple API over other XML libs fading 
away. Not completely of course, but at least there's something quite 
dumb ass easy to use already out there.
