A lot of people send by email single Word document into a zip file, for
sharing during redaction. The compression allows the size to stay
acceptable for the mail servers, but at the same time if add complexity
by forcing users to zip/unzip documents.

If OOo was able to open directly documents into a zip archive, it would
save time and lower the complexity for the end user (no more « how do
you open the document ? »).

This could be done by using already existing zip tools on the computer
(at least for UNIX-like systems) and by adding a filter.
