One set of questions the current specification raises are similar to the ones that were raised during discussions of registering a zip-based MIME type: that the referenced ZIP specification itself is not a standard, implementations vary, and that a simple reference to the PKWare "ZIP" specification wasn't sufficient to insure interoperability: http://www.alvestrand.no/pipermail/ietf-types/2007-September/001915.html In addition, as I also mentioned in my previous message, I think that a URI scheme that's restricted to ZIP may be too narrow. I agree with the sentiments that led to a proposal for some way of covering rooted directories, whether packaged or not, although I'm not certain about the opera proposal itself: http://www.webmasterworld.com/opera_browser/3650419.htm Larry
