Yes, I see how it works now.

What are useful features that our font project could get on the font  
files, that it could not get on the same font file in a zip?

Is there any real reason for there to be a zip? Would it make sense to  
decompress any compressed file and not store the say zip at all?

If not, what would be ideal?
