It would also deter your client from tinkering with the epub - a'la Hitch's recent 'Anyone here ever seen..." thread.

You could even remove the components that make it an epub -- mimetype, opf etc --- from the zip.

Indeed. My initial question on seeing this thread is: why the hell does he have to zip it BACK? Why not just copy the ePUB, and unzip it? Or, hell, for that matter, just copy it, unzip it, and send him the folder? No?
