 > The way I see it, converting to PDF isn't ideal: 1) it's a lossy
 conversion and 2) it'll be opened by a different activity.

 complete web pages (just like firefox), putting them in a zip and later
 opening them with Browse:

 Browse mainline. The main problem with the patch(es) as it is now is that
 it doesn't clean up after it correctly.

 ...support for zipped up web pages would make a _very_ useful way to
 quickly provide/distribute browser compatible content (and keep it in a
 format that could be edited and re-shared).
