FYI: gzip/zip in the browsers...

There are some discussions on having natively zip-like facilities in the browser:

http://discourse.wicg.io/t/a-zip-api-in-the-browser/14 <http://discourse.wicg.io/t/a-zip-api-in-the-browser/14>

I have no idea whether there is more than just discussions at this point, though.
