One problem with saving webpages is all of the associated files (css,
images, etc.).  Firefox handles this by creating a folder to to
contain these.  The pain with this approach is the proliferation of
folders that are distinct from the actual page saved, leading to
administrative overhead in trying to manage the filesystem.

Instead, why not save as gzipped archive, and add native support for
opening such files?

Some useful defaults:
Archive name: Absolute URL of the page being saved
Master File (e.g. index.html): the last portion of the absolute URL,
perhaps with .html suffix (i.e. replaces .php, .htm, .cfm, .aspx, nil,
etc.)

In this way, a webpage can be saved as a single file, and a double-
click can open the file and render it as delivered.  Perhaps a special
suffix (i.e. other than .tar.gz or .tgz) should be used so Chrome can
be registered as the default handler.
