With xsd/mapping;

0% irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'xsd/mapping'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> obj = XSD::Mapping.xml2obj(<<XML)

irb(main):004:1"   <vocab-item>
irb(main):005:1"     <first.form>foo</first.form>

irb(main):007:1"   </vocab-item>

irb(main):010:0> obj.methods - Kernel.methods

"__add_xmlele_value", "vocab_item"]

Last line is for your next question, XML Namespace.  And see "__xmlattr"
method listed for the next.
