Dear Robby,

Unless you have specific needs, I'd suggest against introducing rubygem-rexml package into Fedora, because we actually have it in Fedora already, as a subpackage of Ruby:

Description  : REXML was inspired by the Electric XML library for Java, which features an
             : easy-to-use API, small size, and speed. Hopefully, REXML, designed with the same
             : philosophy, has these same features. I've tried to keep the API as intuitive as
             : possible, and have followed the Ruby methodology for method naming and code
             : flow, rather than mirroring the Java API.
             : 
             : REXML supports both tree and stream document parsing. Stream parsing is faster
             : (about 1.5 times as fast). However, with stream parsing, you don't get access to
             : features such as XPath.
