Xmlsimple: prevent folding multiple elements into array?

I have some xml that represents a somewhat weirdly formed hash.
XmlSimple is eating some of my structure.

Try this:

xml = <<INPUT
<kern>
        <map>
                <key>
                        state
                </key>
                <string>
                        open
                </string>
                <key>
                        rate
                </key>
                <time>
                        daily
                </time>
                <key>
                        duration
                </key>
                <time>
                        monthly
                </time>
        </map>
</kern>
INPUT

# See http://www.germane-software.com/software/rexml/docs/tutorial.html
require 'rexml/document'
doc = REXML::Document.new(xml)
doc.elements.each("/kern/map/*") do |element|
  puts element.name, element.text.strip
end
