instead of using rexml, I'd suggest you 'xml/smart' which as a "modify"
method.

for example I'm using :
      XML::Smart.modify( "#{file}" ) do | doc |
        node=doc.root.find("//xhtml:p[@id = 'maj']", {"xhtml" =>
"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"}).first
        if node
          node.text=File.stat("#{file}").mtime.strftime("m�j le %d %m %y
%H:%M")
          puts "file '#{file}' updated!"
        else
          puts "No node \"//xhtml:p[@id = 'maj']\" for file '#{file}'!"
        end
      end

in order to modify the date (writen in <p id='maj'><</p>) from file's
mtime.
