Sorry... I didn't see your other post prior to replying.
I think so long as there is a programmatic (and exposed) way to access
this file, that's acceptable. Perhaps you'd like to make the file use the
open packaging convention (just kidding - that'd be really slow, I
imagine!)

Re: [WiX-users] wixout file format
Then there would be two files… which would have to be remembered to be
copied around everywhere.
What’s wrong with the current .wixout system? It never was intended to be
human readable and the Output object is the way to programmatically load
it.

What about using 'two' wixout files - one for the cab and one for the xml?
In other words, an ancillary file that stores the cab.

And it would be much bigger and slower to load, neither of which are
desirable (especially if your project is as large as Office).

Wouldn't it be possible to fix this such that it is a proper XML file?
The cab could be embedded in the XML (eg. base64) and the entire thing
would be much better, though not exactly perfect. At least it would work
with XML parsers.
