The XML::Rules->ToXML() converts (or tries to convert) a datastructure to XML using attributes whenever possible and subtags in other cases. In this case the hash of data for <chart> contain set => \@array,, since attributes cannot be repeated, the set must be a subtag and be repeated. The last two parameters to ->ToXML are there just to add the formatting.
