XML::Parser.register_error_handler could be implemented in ruby.
ruby_xml_attr_not_type_name() could be implemented in ruby.

All of the rb_define_consts in ruby_xml_node.c

ruby_xml_node_set_xpath_get() in ruby_xml_node_set.c

Thats all I can remember for now!  haha!

I haven't read through all of the code, but I'm just guessing there
are more things....

By the way, I added a patch to the tracker to do some cleanups in the tests.
