What steps will reproduce the problem?
http://play.golang.org/p/qb45AYAD4U

What is the expected output?
I expect that the "struct" node defined in line 44 appears in the XML output.

What do you see instead?
I see no "struct" node. Instead I have to add a useless "x" node to

play.golang.org

Which operating system are you using?
play.golang.org

Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')

overriding that default by setting an xml.Name. You can drop the xml.Name.
