Caching is on a full URL basis, of course.  Once that is decided, 
then yes, I think that pre-cached items for a given URL are in the 
general cache for that site.  If that site doesn't want that effect, 
then don't have z.html inside a ZIP archive in a directory, and a 
different z.html in the directory by itself.

Nor should you refer to z.html as a simple file, outside the archive 
in which it is packaged, unless it is also available separately, 
since there is no assurance that the archive has been fetched and 
pre-cached.

I don't see any of these restrictions as particularly un-obvious or 
unreasonable.
