That's just what a REXML::Document object returns when you call  
#inspect.

require 'rexml/document'
xml =<<EOS
<node>
   <xml>test</xml>
   <ignore>blah</ignore>
</node>
EOS
doc = REXML::Document.new(xml)
p doc    # -> <UNDEFINED> ... </>
puts doc # -> the xml...
puts REXML::XPath.match( doc, "//node/xml" ) # -> <xml>test</xml>
