Hello, I understand that a zip file has not a real file system, although one should be able to think of one which is able to create a file system for it on the fly, since there is a folder structure. Though I agree that for example rights management is different for existing archive systems such as zip, 7-zip and tar. The only suggestion that I have is that the GUI solution chosen for mounting ISO files should be applied to mounting archives in a similar way. An ISO, though having a complete filesystem, is not much different to the end-user, since the end-user sees folders and files. Obviously, from a developers perspective they are different, and as such have different options, though I would say that there is a kind of portability between all of them.
