XmlSimple's keeproot option key has to be a string

Reported by Xavier Noria | December 27th, 2007 @ 02:35 PM | in Second Edition

The examples about XmlSimple at the bottom of page 516 use an option :keeproot as a symbol. But if you try them in the Rails console you get this error

NoMethodError: undefined method `downcase' for :keeproot:Symbol

Looks like only a string "keyroot" (case-insensitive) is permitted.

In addition, the output of the first example has a spurious space between the opening curly brace and the left quote. And irb does not print single quotes.
