Thanks, but as far as I can see this won't help me in my case :-( I
allready have a working xmlzipio handler for local files (see
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2003-October/msg00383.html and
http://hal.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~christi/xmlzipio/) but
promised to continue work after I have finished an other project.

Currently I want to improve the integration of xmlzipio with libxml2
in a way, that allows me to use any uri scheme to retrieve the zipfile.

Bye Christian
