      Change the URL to : http://www.info-zip.org/doc/appnote-19970311-iz.zip

      Note that although we moved to the PKWare AppNote in ODF 1.2, to do so in errata would be dangerous, since the specifications may not be identical. So better to point to another copy of the same specification we referenced for ODF 1.0.

      Description of issue

      The reference to the ZIP file format gives the URL ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/doc/appnote-970311-iz.zip

      At the time of writing (2009-10-11) this resource, hosted on a commercial web site owned by a US company, is password-protected.

      It is imperative that referenced resources are both authoritative and accessible; this is neither.
      Proposal
