No, there's no such documentation, there won't be any and I wouldn't recommend trying to use these files for anything.

You can open the file (it's just an XML) and see for yourself what's in there. Every widget saves its internal data; some widgets store it as literals (we plan to migrate all widgets to that format eventually), while for others the data is base64 encoded pickle. You can base64decode such text and give it to pickle.loads. But as you'll see, it essentially includes widget's internal variables, so the format can change at any time.
