zipped collections of XML files, so one can unzip them, repair the
XML with a text editor, re-zip them, and then open them OK. Not
very convenient, of course, but possible if the content can't be
easily reconstructed. Details available on request.
For windows-only people: to open a session file with a zip archiver, just
append ".zip" at the end of its name. IIRC, windows will try to scare you
by telling you that you're not supposed to fiddle with file extensions;
just ignore it. When you're done, remove the extra extension and you'll be
ok.
