They use the same pickling code but they (of course) do not have
transaction boundaries.

Thus, you cannot use ZODB utilities to read zexp files.

Sure, you can open the "zexp" file: when I remember right,
they contain a sequence of (binary) pickle objects.

However, again, I would verify whether the XML format exhibits
the same problem. When it does, it is much easier to analyse...
