The filter reacts to the following XML fragment:

   <zip name="{name of the package}" xmlns="http://www.xmlpipe.org/xpe/zip" >
      <dir name="top" >
         <entry name="embeddedxml" >
            <test>
               XML fragment can be zipped directly.
            </test>
         </entry>
         <dir name="second" >
            <entry name="{a name assigned to the entry}" href="{uri to the resource to be zipped}" />
         </dir>
      </dir>
   </zip>

Note:

The top level is the zip element.
