Assume the XML is in doc1 and doc2, with 2 holding the selected subset.

doc2.elements.to_a("//setting").each do |setting|
   key =    setting.attributes['key']
   value =  setting.attributes['value']
   other_el = doc1.elements.to_a("//setting[@key='#{key}]").first
   other_el.attributes['value'] = value
end


Or something like that
