Active_support/mini_xml question/bug?

Rails

Seems to me that {}.to_xml is generating one level too many of xml
structure, but I may be interpreting things incorrectly… I’ve reduced
my question to a very simple case:

b
=> {“elist”=>[{:element=>1}, {:element=>2}]}

puts b.to_xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 1 2

Also with skip_types:

puts b.to_xml(:skip_types => true)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 1 2

There’s one too many levels of . Is this a bug or intentional?
Is there a way to get it to remove that extra layer?

What I would like/expect the behavior to be is:

1 2

Thoughts?
