I have real doubts about using zip because of the extremely prominent
"compression" connotations - it's one of the few things that neophyte as
well as experienced computer users are exposed to, with winzip etc.

I actually like interlace a lot.

I also like "furl" - especially when you say it: "Furl.  Furl.  Furl."
