XML version 2 files are just GZIPped XML files. This is a quite common
approach to keep XML files small. OpenOffice.org or KOffice use a
similar approach.
On my Linux desktop "less" will show me the XML file in a human-readable
form.
gzip -c -d -S .tjx AccountingSoftware.tjx > AccountingSoftware.xml
will take the XML Version 2 file AccountingSoftware.tjx and uncompress
it to AccountingSoftware.xml.
There are GZIP libraries for most languages, so it shouldn't be a
problem to uncompress/recompress the XML files from, let's say, Perl or
Python.
Cheers
