From the FAQ they say:
"Why are C++ function bodies not dumped in XML?
The original sponsors of the project had no need for function bodies. So far the authors have not had time or funding to implement the support. Contact the mailing list if you are interested in contributing this support or providing funding to have it implemented. "

is it still true ? 

Also do they maintain comments, space, positions, cpp directives ?
If you need to do source-to-source transformation, e.g. refactoring,
you need those things.
