Heh.  I disagree, actually, or more correctly, my use case has almost  
always been different.  Most XML processing is done in batch from a  
simple script, not inside of an embedded app that does:

class Foo
   include LibXML
   ...
end

Not saying I haven't done that a few times in a few web apps w/ other  
modules, but it's less frequent for XML, IMHO.  -sc
