The reference given for the Zip format does not provide a date or version, though this specification is frequently revised, The current lack of formal standardisation of the zip format is something which causes problems for a number of standards and specifications which are based upon it (eg. jar, scorm, odf etc).
Reference should be made to a particular dated and labeled version of the ZIP format.
Removal of OPC from this specification and developing it separately, formally and thoroughly, as indicated above, would receive considerable support if it contributed to solving some of the current problems around the specification of zip containers.

Unsolvable.
This comment cannot be solved in the ballot resolution phase.
Also strange is that ODF that also uses a zip package was not asked by SA to seperate their packaging format from the ODF standard.
