Oh, much smaller. REXML is has more features than Electric XML (Java), but 
the codebase, not counting comments and blank lines, is less than half the 
size: ~3,700 for EXML, and ~1,700 for REXML.  Not quite an order of 
magnitude, but a healthy fraction.  REXML started as a straight port of 
Electric XML, but there is almost no similarity in the code anymore.
