Another use of something like what i'm describing would be to have, say, tarballs of web pages that when read just transparently act as directories containing all the dependent files saved alongside the HTML, but which when running something like 'find' it wouldn't waste time flipping through each file and would just report it as a single file

@wyatt you want the .mht format. This has existed for over two decades and is standard (just a MIME container), though Firefuck refuses to support it. (Hmm, I’ll have to implement support in lynx…)

@mirabilos oh yeah, i remember there was a firefox addon to view MHT files back when firefox was still kind of good (supported true extensibility via XUL and XPCOM). Maybe it'd work in seamonkey still.
