Does something as prior art exist ?! :-)

There appears one primary and major difference between the format described in
the patent application and ODF. Whereas ODF is an archive of several files,
the patent covers only files that are *single* flat XML files. In essence, it
is aimed at what eventually became MS's OXML format.
Can they argue that archiving several files together (including images)
in one zip file still does not make the xml file that keeps formatting
and text together, something else that what they have patented?
Compression is a commonly used method in lots of communication/storage.
But when the content is used, it is uncompressed.
