Function menu_data not returning ALL menu items

[n00dles101]

any chance of getting this returned as an XML object as an option.
This would allow us to do some XPATH queries on the data.

Code:

// returns menu with submenus
// submenu items are children of menu items.
$data=menu_data();
$components = subval_sort($data->xpath("//*[menuStatus='Y']"),'menuOrder');
foreach ($components as $menu){
   echo "<li>".$menu->url."</li>";
   $submenus= $data->xpath("//*[parent='".$menu->url."']");
   if (count($submenus) != 0) {
     echo "<ul>";
     foreach ($submenus as $submenu){
       echo "<li class='submenu'>".$submenu->url."</li>";
     }
   echo "</ul>";
    }
}
