Aren't there two classes of file types there ? Compression vs Archiving

I mean, zip, 7z, and rar are archiving format who store files in a 
compressed fashion (kind of like a tar of gzipped files) so rather than 
just having a "stream" you need to have some support for archives there, 
and not just the compression part like gzip or bzip2...
