I understand that issue. The idea is to support it, at least
for unzipping, in all new versions, and gradually that support

All new versions of what? There is no "standard" implementation,
like there is with 7-Zip. PK-WARE, the creator of the ZIP format,
has practically no share on the desktop. The thought makes about
as much sense as expecting new features in tar or JPEG.
A correction to my previous post: WinZip 12 uses a new file
extension (.zipx) for its new features, including LZMA
compression.
