PKZIP APPNOTE seems to be the zip standard and it specifies a utf-8
flag: http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT

A.  Local file header:
general purpose bit flag: (2 bytes)
Bit 11: Language encoding flag (EFS).  If this bit is
set, the filename and comment fields for this file
must be encoded using UTF-8. (see APPENDIX D)

Yes, that's one of the two methods for supporting UTF-8 filenames
described there.

The other method involves writing extra ZIP header fields and was
invented by Info-ZIP. They don't use it consistently anymore, though
(from zip -h2):

 "Zip now stores UTF-8 in entry path and comment fields on systems
  where UTF-8 char set is default, such as most modern Unix, and
  and on other systems in new extra fields with escaped versions in
  entry path and comment fields for backward compatibility."

Thanks; so if we adopt one of these methods, the readers that matter
will be happy?  And if so, which one?  Or both?
