search for: parent_xml

All, I have a RXML template which renders partial RXML templates within it. A snippet is below. The "xml" variable is the parent template''s Builder variable. It is passed into the partial under the name "parent_xml". Why can''t I use :locals => {.... :xml => xml ....} in my call to render the partial? It seems like if I do use :xml => xml, it doesn''t work, and I am forced to pass into a local variable with a name other than "xml", for example, "parent_xml"....
