AFAIK that's just the raw resource fork contents exposed in that extended attribute. I'm not aware of any API to read these files beyond the Resource Manager API.
If you change your opinion on reading it yourself, I wrote some code a while ago that reads resource forks:
https://github.com/uliwitness/ReClassicfication/blob/master/InterfaceLib/FakeResources.c
(There are more files in that folder, check out the entire project at https://github.com/uliwitness/ReClassicfication/)
Note that the code for writing out resource forks is still buggy, but the reading code works fine.
