Indicate residential address with UPS Rate API

How do I indicate that a shipment is to a residential address with the UPS Rate API? I'd like to get the same price as with the UPS website calculator https://wwwapps.ups.com/ctc

I've tried both:

<ns2:ResidentialAddressIndicator></ns2:ResidentialAddressIndicator>

and

 <ResidentialAddressIndicator></ResidentialAddressIndicator>

and tried both of those as both a sibling and a child to 

<ns2:ShipTo>

This is from the "Rating Package - Web Services Developers Guide.pdf" that I downloaded with the API. (Their downloaded sample XML request was outdated and I had to write to support and get a new sample XML request file. So maybe other things are outdated, as well?)

The response always matches the commercial price, as seen on the UPS website. I think that I have the other settings correct since the price does match the website's commercial price (it's not something completely different).

Note that this answer How do I specify if the shipment is Residential in UPS API? is 5 years old and ow gives an error.

If you are passing in a full address (as you should be for accurate rating) the UPS Rating API will automatically re-rate a shipment regardless of the residential indicator value. You will get a warning response back along with the rates that states it was re-classified.

The tag needed to go down one more level and be nested within the address tag: 

<ns2:Address>
   ...
   <ns2:ResidentialAddressIndicator></ns2:ResidentialAddressIndicator>
