Frankly, I see no practical values in such "merging".  After all, OPC
implementations and Wiget package implementations are different.
What is the point of allowing some zip files to be both OPC packages 
and widget packages at the same time?  Who is going to spend a lot 
of time for that?

I spoke with Robin and he said that they do not have interest in
streaming.  They might change their opinion, but they are already aware
of interleaving of OPC.

Avoiding unnecessary changes would be nice.  But I am not aware of any 
mechanism or terminology that have to be unified.  We might want to tell
them why we chose a particular version of the zip format, but this is 
the only, AFAIK.

Cheers,
