Subject: 23.0.91; request for enhancement?

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.

Windows, c'est un peu comme le beaujolais nouveau: à chaque nouvelle  
cuvée on sait que ce sera dégueulasse, mais on en prend quand même,  
par masochisme.
