This sounds like a great opening for a discussion about the pros and cons of doing such a thing. But until such a discussion has happened, isn't it a little premature to worry about the URL details? I'd start with things like "what is the fallback when using a browser behind an enterprise firewall that blocks all zip files?" and "what potential security vulnerabilities do we create by having the browser download a zip file and parse the contents?" and maybe "how does this influence the design of memory-constrained browsers?"
