I'm always creating Diazo themes in form of Python packages, as I have
more control over everything: CSS/JS resource registrations, theme
registration, etc. So no problem for tinymce.xml or registry.xml
registrations too.

Isn't that an option for you too? Or do you *need* theme ZIP, because
you want clients install their own themes?
