Subject: Re: ZIP archive API?

I am very interested in working with archives. I'm currently using it as a delivery from server (like quake packs), import and export format for WebGL apps.

We have https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/ArchiveAPI which is
implemented as well (cc'd Andrea, who implemented it).

There's also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681967 about
