(I think you did not cc the list on this, so I'm doing so now) I believe they are - I have an Etrex Vista I can try to make sure that it does, but I'm fairly certain there are a handful of tools the grab the data in many different formats (NMEA certainly) and can dump them to text files, or whatever.
