ZIP is pretty good for text files, like the majority of an OOXML package.  
The bigger deficit, as I see it, is the inability to stream. But of all  
the things I'd be looking at for future versions, the compression system  
wouldn't be close to the top of the list, because being able to open the  
package is a sine qua non for interoperability.

Discussions so far have been limited to correcting and clarifying the  
existing specification. But it is nice to see people thinking of potential  
updates to the specification.
