I guess that the content has maybe been obfuscatted. So the XML is not human-readable.

XML resource files are always stored in a "binary optimized format" or how they called it to reduce the size and accelerate loading. Not intentional obfuscation but you can't read it without undoing the optimization. – zapl Sep 05 '12 at 12:10
