Thing is, since the payload is typically compressed, offsets are useless
because they'd just point to somewhere in the middle of a compression stream.
If the files in the payload were individually compressed, it'd seem quite
reasonable to have offsets stored. Of course that would likely loose something
in the compression ratio.
