I'd agree with Alan here. I think that ".svg.zip" would probably be better. This would probably assist in interoperability with other tools and will make users understand what they have better.
There is one advantage in giving it its own extension. The system can register this as mime type and automaticly open inkscape when it sees a *zink.
But I don't have any problems with the .svg.zip extension, so if you all agree I will change it to .svg.zip.
As far as I can tell you can't register something like .svg.zip (I just tried on WinXP), and I wouldn't worry too much about interoperability. After all, Sun uses quite a few different extensions for jar-like files (jar, ear and war come to mind) as well (and so does OpenOffice).
And what about all the different formats that use XML, you don't give something an extension like .svg.xml or .xhtml.xml, just because it uses XML to serialize its data.
