I like your list, tho I should claim a little bias. ;)

I'd recommend looking at tagz over hpricot, even tho it breaks your  
alliteration. It does an amazing job in as little code as it is, and  
is really quite fast compared to similarly architected libraries.

I did steal the idea for heckle from java-land, so it can't be that  
innovative ;)
