Hello!

OpenOffice can load extension files with the file name  
extension .oxt, which are PKzip files, starting with PK^C^D. Dired- 
mode's y tells:

	FileName.oxt: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract

When I try to view it with v from dired-mode, GNU Emacs displays  
mostly binary data. "Auto-Compression minor mode (no indicator)" is  
reported to be on, though. Hard-linking it to file.zip allows me to  
do all the things an archive-mode buffer allows. It also works with a  
hard-link file.oxt.zip.

So it's just a matter of handling the .oxt extension the same as .zip?

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.oxt\\'" . archive-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.OXT\\'" . archive-mode))
