Looks like this method has trouble with attributes:

ex:

require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler'
require 'active_support/core_ext'
require 'pp'

xml  = 
'<test id="appears">
  <comment id="doesnt appear">
    it worked
  </comment>
  <comment>
   see!
  </comment>
  <comment />
</test>'

hash = Hash.from_xml(xml)

pp hash

#=>{"test"=>{"id"=>"appears", "comment"=>["it worked", "see!", nil]}}

# Notice how the id attribute on the first comment element doesn't appear.
