Hi, I just posted a very minor patch to ActiveModel on lighthouse involving the :type option and string attributes in xml serialization: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/6744-activemodel-xml-serialization-patch I''d appreciate it very much if you would consider including it in the next release of rails.
