Re: No more W3C plans to address packaging

The OpenOffice project is using a native XML file format and is addressing
this issue by using a Jar/Zip file to store the main XML document,
associated binary data, and possibly an XML Manifest file as well. As we
(the OpenOffice team) are actively working on this packaging format, perhaps
some of the members of this list might be interested in working on XML
packaging and using OpenOffice as a test case/prototype that might later
become a proposal to the W3C?
