  SellerOrganizationCode="VENDOR" BuyerOrganizationCode="hp"
  OrderNo="CG1XYAA3" OrderType="Regular" Currency="USD"
  OrderDate="20060408" VendorID="000002895">

hpricot really is just a parsing library for HTML or XML.

For writing out XML, you should look into libxml-ruby or even just
REXML if you don't want an external dependency.
