InventoryDemo - Do we need SharpZipLib for client compression?

SharpZip lib is used to compress communication stream between client and the server, not the app.  You can use any library you want as long as compression is compatible between client (SL) and server (.NET).  SharpZip is, so you can compress communication on the .NET side and decompress on Silverlight side (and vice-versa).  As long as you can achieve this with a different product, you can switch out the compression libraries.

Do we need SharpZipLib for compression?

Can't SL2 "unzip" a .xap file already?

I picked this up from the link below:

I was wondering if this could be used in place of SharpZipLib for the SL side of the inventory demo?
