FSFS format7 and compressed XML bundles

Hey all,

I've been following the discussion about FSFS format7, and had a
question: Is there any chance that the format would improve storage
efficiency for documents that are stored as compressed (zipped) bundles
of XML files and other resource files (Read MS Office Documents, but
OpenOffice is similar).

I'm finding that making very small changes in big documents (with
embedded images) results in rapid growth of the repository, since the
binary diff algorithm seems to not be able to figure out efficient
deltas for this type of documents, even though analysis of the contents
shows that they are almost unchanged.

This may be outside the scope of format7, but I thought I'd ask the
question nevertheless.

Best,
Magnus
