Mine always tells me it downloads entries and comments. (I haven't looked at the results recently, though.)

I also use [livejournal.com profile] ghewgill's [livejournal.com profile] ljbackup Python script, which dumps each entry into a separate XML file and dumps comments into XML files (one per entry) as well.

I imagine that could be easier to post-process than some .NET serialisation format (which is what I think LjArchive uses) - since XML is just text, if push comes to shove, you can just open them in Notepad and copy the text out. (And if you're a programmer, you can do all sorts of fancy stuff with XSLT or something.)
