BTW, I've always thought the way REXML does inserts now was rather tedious. 
Any suggestions on better ways of doing this?  How about:

   c_element = Element.new("c")
   doc.elements["a/b[position()=1]"].insert_after_me( c_element )

or perhaps

   ...
   b_element.next_sibling = c_element

I'm partial to the last.  Vote now or forever hold your peace. :-)
