Thanks Elliotte. you're right, that should be pretty easy to do.

fyi - I'm working on some jruby helpers for XOM and NUX here:

Also, I'm new to java and was wondering if you could tell me what the  
most popular and active XML lib for java is? Is it XOM? I need xslt  
2.0 and xpath essentially.

Thanks again!
