In looking at the to_xml method and its behavior on associations,

Wouldn't it be better to have to_xml call to_xml on the association's
AR instances?
Definitely. This is the way I've done it in the past, when I had to
roll my own, and I think it makes sense.
If people like this idea, I'll code up a patch for it.
I put a patch up at
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4989
It includes test suite and I added a :dasherize => false feature that disables
the dasherizing of names. I plan on using Python's xmltramp as a REST client
and not changing the column names in the XML will make it a little easier to
have RoR accept the XML back and update the model.

Blair
