Which works fine if you have the thing actually in existence. However, 
you can't answer any questions about it or parse the path if you 
don't have it available. We need to be able to ask the URI "what is 
the name of the zip file" and "what is the member name" without the 
thing necessarily existing.

So maybe it would be better to be explicit, like:

zip:///path/to/some.zip&member="memberName"
