There's some stuff already in gnome-vfs and Nautilus that is the start of 
this feature. You use a special URL like 
"file:///home/darin/archive.gz#gzip:///" and the normal icon and list 
views rather than a special viewer. The part of the puzzle that's not 
solved yet is how to turn this rather arcane hidden feature into something 
easy to use.

I don't think anyone else is working on it, and it would be nice to have 
someone figure it out.
