Ok, I have no clue where to post this, so if I’m in the wrong forum,  
just tell me, and I’ll take a hike.

That being said:  
I was looking at the [rubyonrails.org](http://rubyonrails.org) weblog site, and was reading of the  
updates to Active Support.

One that caught my attention was the Hash.from\_xml function… as I was  
talking it over with another programmer, I got to wondering, how would  
it deal with something like:

 Bob Jim Frank

The structure they showed seemed to imply that a hash would be created  
using the tag name as the key, and the information contained in the tag  
as the value. So if there are three tags named ‘name’, does you just  
get {:listofnames =\> {:name =\> “Frank”}}?
