My vote goes for svn not messing with my zip files. If your office suite of
choice stores files in proprietary binary formats, it's not up to svn to
interpret/convert them before storing them. Should it also convert Word docs
to text before saving them? The fact that zip is a well-known proprietary
binary format doesn't make it less proprietary or less binary.
I'll go back to sleep now.

I'd like this feature, too (for OpenOffice.org files). Is there a
link available which would enable me to vote for the feature? ;-)
