One vital requirement for the packaging format is that it maintains media-types for the things that the package contains so that the whole approach can nest. Just a quick note to +1 on the importance of the nesting/recursion. I've not dug enough into examples to be sure the proposal works, but it seems a valuable direction to explore. One related scenario here is in filesystem explorers where the desktop etc platform allows users to drill into ZIP files as a kind of auto-mounted file system. Systems like the KDE4 RDF tagging implementation presumably need nice URIs to attach metadata to. From what I understand via http://leobard.twoday.net/stories/4522263/ http://www.semanticfocus.com/blog/entry/title/early-preview-of-rdf-enabled-tagging-in-kde4-screencast/ http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/05/31/semantic-desktop-and-kde-4-state-and-plans-of-nepomuk-kde/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/soprano ... URIs for stuff inside ZIP and tar.gz are important issues there. In these kinds of scenarios, zips inside zips are pretty common. My own filestore mess has oldstuff.zip inside oldstuff.zip many times over ;) cheers, Dan -- http://danbri.org/
