However, I don't think it should be part of or even tied to the HTML spec. In principle, such an archive could contain any browser- viewable content as the root document. This could be HTML, XHTML, SVG, generic XML, plain text, a raster image, or any number of other things. So such an archive format is logically a separate layer and should be specced as such.
