Keeping the zip format means Calibre can still use the same unzip code as it does currently for accessing the plugin.

It also means Calibre can only allow a user to add files with the .calibreplugin extension to be added as plugins.

Finally it means that a user is really unlikely to try unzipping the plugin by double-clicking it.

Sound reasonable to me.
