Thanks for the endorsement Andrew.
Jim, the analogy that comes to mind is that rolling your own XML is kind of like building a new car from scratch every time you want to go to the store. The cost of one (or more, for that matter) of a tool will be more than offset by the value of your time required to create or tweak ribbons for each project. (Just my 2 cents worth.)

I would encourage you, Jim, to follow Glenn's advice and look into the various RibbonXML creation tools out there. I bought two of them over time, out of my own money, even though I was using them on someone else's projects/time. Each product has it's advantages. They makes it especially easy to include the stock groups and icons so you can add the cut/copy/paste or filter/sort functionality back into your Ribbon really easily (plus, the context sensitivity is handled automatically by Access/Office.)
Sometimes the Ribbons can be used "as is" but I often fiddle with the Ribbon(Fluent?)XML by hand afterwards, especially when handling multi-language.
On one Project the demo version of a tool was sufficient to get the Ribbon we needed. I later bought the tool to use on further projects.
Good luck,
Andrew
