Clean, Simple and Portable.

It's exactly like HTML Page, complete (*.html), the differemve is that all files are bundled into a ZIP file which has the extension HTMLZ.

It's so simple that I wonder why the creators of defunct MAF/MAFF didn't think about it many years ago http://maf.mozdev.org/maff-file-format.html

Untile a week ago, Wikimedia supported exporting pages into HTMLZ.

I correct myself: Clean, Simple, Portable and Manageable (e.g. editing CSS and JS files, which is easier to handle than MHTML).

Don't get me wrong. I like the MHTML format and I use it excessively.  HTMLZ is good too.

I apologies for double posting.

The following is an indication for support of htmlz by wikimedia (third line below)
https://github.com/wikimedia/ws-export/blob/d95595b29dd9c1a7c4b0636bf40261f6a9879b54/i18n/qqq.json#L37

	"format-epub-3": "Format label and description.",
	"format-epub-2": "Format label and description.",
	"format-htmlz": "Format label and description.",
	"format-mobi": "Format label and description.",
	"format-pdf-a4": "Format label and description.",
	"format-pdf-a5": "Format label and description.",
	"format-pdf-a6": "Format label and description.",
	"format-pdf-letter": "Format label and description.",
	"format-rtf": "Format label and description.",
	"format-txt": "Format label and description.",

For some reason, which doesn't seem to be publicly announced, the support for export to non-PDF formats isn't available, perhaps because of pressure or nepotism of big business or perhaps that wiki foundation has decided to be less productive.
