Just to be clear I had not done the full review yet and had not checked the
licensing.

The licensing is impressively confused in fact.

http://www.yoshidam.net/xmlparser_en.txt  and the README

gives part Ruby or "license of expat"
and also bizarrely partly there is a Perl license on encoding.h

In addition: xpath.rb is GPLv2+ 

so this all resolves to

License: GPLv2+ and ( Ruby or GPLv2+ ) and ( GPLv2+ or Artistic )

which would definitely need some comments to explain which file is which.
