Has anyone looked at the Inkjar code and how Inkview uses it? It has been in the code base for over a year, and seems to be very similar to other jar formats, like for Java or OpenDocument. Basically a zip of file + resources and a manifest. It would be great if Inkview could read the files that Inkscape makes.
src/inkjar/jar/cpp src/inkview.cpp
Also, if we are maybe (slowly) moving toward using URI's instead of file names, then there would be the JAR URL spec:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jar/index.html (ignore the 'Java' part, it's a general-purpose format now)
...that we could use to specify URIs of resources within zips, the same as any other files. And xlink: paths would follow the rules for absolute or relative URIs.

I tried to investigate it but there is very little documentation this and it seems not to be able to handle images at the moment, but maybe I just don't understand how to make correct inkjars.
