   Short term alternative could be to ship available maml files in the package #1469

    I am assigning this issue to me. I am working on a solution which is going to use zips on Linux. This means that the documentation team needs to upload to the download center a zip file in addition to the cab. On Windows, we will use both zip and cabs, and on Linux just zips. Aditya Patwardhan (@adityapatwardhan) is looking into adding the code to the publishing tools to generate the zip files.
