As others say, for now REXML is probably the way to go, but *very* soon
now you'll be able to use Libxml2 also if things keep going to plan over
here.

	require 'xml/libxml'

	d = XML::Parser.file('test.xml').parse
	p d.find('//biblioentry[pubdate = 1977]').to_a

If you want to try it before we get to release go to CVS:
http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=494

(Also, REXML does support XPath, so you should be able to modify the
above to work with that. Just to be sure, I tried it 100 times over:

### XPath ###
                          user     system      total        real
rexml                 9.840000   0.080000   9.920000 ( 10.046963)
libxml2               0.090000   0.000000   0.090000 (  0.139592)
