I'm not an expert, but I think the difference is that in exceptions, stack in unwound; while in continuations, all stack frame hang around in a sea of stack frames waiting to be garbage collected when no one holds a reference to them anymore. This would imply that you can jump into the same stack frame multiple times, or do other weird things.
