For backward compatibility, *.vba shouldn't be a zipfile under another
name (which .xpi and .jar are, but these extensions were never used for
something else before). *.vba.gz (keeping the .vba as-is and compressing
them for transport, the way .tar.gz relates to plain .tar) would be easy
to implement; if you want something more complicated than this, I
believe a new extension would be necessary.
Best regards,

Don't use excessive force in supplying such a moron with a period.
