Subject: XML -> Ruby mapping: is there a 'standard' approach?

Background:

I'm working on a library to read XML files and convert their contents to =
a set of Ruby objects.  The XML files conform to an ASTM standard and =
there's an XSD.  The Java guys are using JAXB to generate their classes =
from the XSD.  I'm not aware of an equivalent to JAXB for Ruby and so am =
going at the task manually.

Question:

Is there a standard / recommended approach, documented somewhere, that I =
could use to guide my decisions re: translating the XML structure into a =
Ruby class hierarchy?

TIA,
Bill
