A list of tags gets nested inside the same tag when converted to XML

[just-push-it]

When converting a Lua table into XML, I have a section where there are multiple <l> tags in the same block. When printing the table to console, I can see that the <l> tags are inside of a table with the key l who's values are an array of the various <l> elements.

Like so:

{
  playlist = {
    locations = {
      locations = {
        l = { {
            components = {...}
          }, {
            components = {...}
          }, {
            components = {...}
          }, {
            components = {...}
          }, {
            components = {...}
          } }
      }
    }
  }

I was expecting that the output xml should look like this:

<playlist>
    <locations>
        <locations>
            <l></l>
            <l></l>
            <l></l>
            <l></l>
            <l></l>
        </locations>
    </locations>
</playlist>

Instead, what I'm getting is this:

<playlist>
    <locations>
        <locations>
            <l>
                <l></l>
                <l></l>
                <l></l>
                <l></l>
                <l></l>
            </l>
        </locations>
    </locations>
</playlist>

I'm not entirely sure why this is happening, and would appreciate some input. Hopefully I've provided enough detail, but please let me know if not. I do not have control over what the final XML structure needs to be in this case.
