no, but the POV-Ray export is quite close - it contains body part
coordinates and connections without the actual 3D shapes.
a simple text processing is all you need to extract the coordinates.

see:

BeginPart(0)
PartGeometry(<7.70451,15.0958,-0.0113741>,<-0,-0,0>)
EndPart()
BeginPart(1)
PartGeometry(<8.70451,15.0958,-0.0113741>,<-0,-0,0>)
EndPart()
BeginJoint(0,1)
JointGeometry(<7.70451,15.0958,-0.0113741>,<8.70451,15.0958,-0.0113741>,<-0,-0,0>)
EndJoint()

There are sample scripts available, see for example
