Sorry Steve, but the answer is no.
'divorce.el' would be highly offensive to a lot of people (myself
included). It implies that women should be treated as nothing more
than a possession that can be discarded at any time by proxy.
Your user base would be zero. Just how many XEmacs using, Middle
Eastern Islamic men [1] who want to divorce their wives by email there
are?
I would also question its legality. Didn't someone post something
about a court ruling that in fact divorce via email wasn't legal or
binding?
This library is not worth the risk to XEmacs' reputation.

I have no idea what this means, but I choose to take it as a
compliment. Thanks. :-)
Footnotes:
[1] I'm pretty sure that under Islamic law there is no way for a
woman to divorce her husband.
