Project storage format questions

I uploaded a project (for the second or third time) to BSS. Now looking at 
the .pr file, I see:

  274148           274148   0%                            9 files

Note that the .form files have URL's as file names. Will this work if/when I 
give this .pr file to someone else who doesn't have net access (i.e. what 
does the project loader do with the URL's?)

And why do those URL's refer to earlier versions of my project? Is this an 
attempt to compress Bob's data storage requirements?

As an aside, I think the award for "Most Entertaining Abuse of the PKZip File 
Format" will have to go to the current Project storage...

* Storing deflate-compressed gzipped files (rather than using Zip's own 
deflate compression)
* Using URL's as file names

At least Phil Katz is dead...
