  I considered that. But decided in the initial proposal against, with this reasoning:
  AppImage files are different to distribution packages, they will not be unpackaged or untarred in any way to be deployed into the system, at least to what the user will experience. But will be used as is. Same like a ODT file is actually a ZIP file, but the nature of being something tarred and composed from lots of different "files" is not exposed to the user.
  So the semantics of a zipper would not really match that much, unless one looks at it from a pure file creation POV.
  
  I rather think the zipper might misguide people into thinking AppImages are the same category as debs, rpms & Co.
  
  With that in mind, what do you think?
