Interesting. The HTMLZ format as implemented by calibre is my own creation. I originally made it because of the number of people asking for the ability to assemble ePub files into a single editable HTML file. Due to images being external to an HTML file I put them in a zip container to keep everything together. HTMLZ also includes an OPF file for metadata so you won't lose anything going from ePub to HTMLZ.

If opening a book within calibre that is in the HTMLZ format is opening in something other than the calibre viewer all you need to do is go to Preferences -> Behavior -> under the use internal viewer area, check HTMLZ. This will cause calibre to open HTMLZ files in it's viewer.
If you're opening HTMLZ files outside of calibre (on your desktop for example) and you use Windows (assuming) you can right click on them and I think under properties change the file association to use calibre's viewer instead of what ever they're opening with. I apologize I can't be more specific about this, I don't use Windows.

HTMLZ is easy to edit. Assembling an ePub so it is valid is not easy. Also, the whole calibre is not an editor bit.
