Subject: RDoc XML: How to include methods data?

RDoc experts:

I used RDoc to generate XML output for a set of ruby classes, but I can't 
get RDoc output to include the methods information.

Test cases:

This command line:
  rdoc -a --fmt xml -T xml.rb -n src_184.xml \ruby\src\ruby-1.8.4_2006-04-14
...produces xml that contains classes and files but no methods.

This almost identical command line:
rdoc -a --fmt html  -n src_184.htm \ruby\src\ruby-1.8.4_2006-04-14
... produces html, *with* method data included.

In addition, I see that the template (xml.rb) includes sections like:

--------------------------
IF:method_list
      <method-list>
START:method_list
IF:methods
START:methods
        <method name="%name%" type="%type%" category="%category%" 
id="%aref%">
          <parameters>%params%</parameters>
[...]
--------------------------

... like it was clearly *intended* to output methods data.

Anyone know what's up with this?

FWIW, this is using 1.8.4 on Windows. (Probably obvious from the above!)

Thanks,

Graham
