I don't know but it seems unlikely. kml is actually just xml with a k in the suffix. You can open the file in a text editor. Similarly a kmz file is just a zip file that includes a kml file and any image files that are displayed. The kml specification can be found at google's website. Basically what it does for images is give x-y coordinates for a png or jpg file. For vectors it displays a list of x-y values and a couple of other parameters (things like whether the vector is fixed to the ground or has a positive elevation.
Hope that helps.
