Korean Code Page Support for REXML

Hello,

I am working with localized information for several languages (German,
French, Japanese) and have written a lot of ruby tools to localize my
software to support these languages. Now I have to add support for
Korean. Does ruby’s REXML even support Korean yet?

Inside the ruby install directory there dont appear to be any Korean
code pages in the rexml/encodings directory. I am reading out data
using REXML from an xml file encoded in a Korean code page (ks c 5601
1987). If ruby’s xml parsers dont support this right now, will they in
the near future?

I believe I am using Ruby 1.8.2. Is this support already in the newest
version of ruby? Any help would be appreciated.
