"create" and "encoding" have been the two documented property names, I 
don't ever recall having "readonly". Sherman - do you remember anything 
on this?

The zip provider just tests if the zip file is writable and if so then 
newFileSystem creates a writeable file system. If the zip file is not 
writable (or it can't be determined) then newFileSystem creates a 
read-only file system.
