On an almost related note, what should the MIME content/media type be for serving egg files via HTTP? It may be advantageous to use "application/zip" [1]. A derivative like "application/egg+zip" would allow the media type to be associated with easy_install or other handlers while preserving the base media type information (although I'm not completely clear on whether derivatives require registration).
