Now's when I admit to having stolen most of the zipping stuff from
ox-odt :)

And yes, I think keeping everything in sexps until the last possible
moment is going to make the whole project much more viable.

Anyway, see what you want to do with that. I'm still theoretically
interested in having a non-org-related package that can be used for
creating and editing Epub files, and then providing a secondary package
that publishes a set of Org files into Epub, using the first package.
But obviously I've been in no hurry to write this package :) Maybe your
work will inspire me to get off my butt; otherwise use the code as you
see fit.
