Rails - Oct 2007 - Unexpected results from roundtrip through ActiveResource to_xml/from_xml - string isn't the same?

I''m trying to figure out why I get a different string after a
round-trip through to_xml/from_xml.  I''m using edge rails, rev is
7921, and I see the same results on Windows and Linux.

Here''s the code:

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../config/boot''
require RAILS_ROOT + ''/config/environment''

class Foo < ActiveResource::Base
  self.site = "http://localhost"
end

f = Foo.new(:x => "\304")
puts f.to_xml
results = Hash.from_xml(f.to_xml)
puts results.inspect
puts "Value for character in original: #{f.x[0]}; "
puts "Value for character after round-trip through xml:
#{results[''foo''][''x''][0]}"


And here''s the result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<foo>
  <x>&#196;</x>
</foo>
{"foo"=>{"x"=>"Ä"}}
Value for character in original: 196;
Value for character after round-trip through xml: 195


Shouldn''t that last 195 be 196?
