I'd go further: why not just give UAs an option to decompress a ZIP 
archive (or potentially other recognised archive format) to multiple 
files (or a folder containing them)?

This would require no standards work and would be of general utility for 
all existing file downloads (I'd certainly be happy to shed a few clicks 
from the ZIP download-open-extract-delete shuffle).
