One of the cool things about ZIP files is that they ignore any data that is not referenced by the index (which is at the end of the file). That is why we can put a #! at the beginning of the file, prefix .exe self-extractors, or put extra data between files in the archive. You could probably even overlap archive members if you were motivated. But it would be best to let the uncompressed extensions be standard ZIP members.
