<br>To quote from the spec:<br><br>'This specification defines a set of functions to read and write ZIP<br>files structure and actual content. It has been designed as a general<br>ZIP tool set for XPath, while it is expected to be particularly useful<br>
with document package formats based on XML and ZIP, as for instance<br>[EPUB], [Open XML], and [OpenDocument].'<br><br>Though this is a collaborative work, the original design and<br>implementation<br>for this module was by Florent Georges.<br>
<br>Florent's Saxon (Java) implementation is still the only free<br>implementation of this specification available, however, a separate<br>implementation (using Saxon.NET) is now incorporated in Qutoric's<br>commercial XPath and XSLT test/publishing tools.<br>
