The reason I do not provide zips for bundles is that TextMate auto- 
install bundles in ~/Library and has no merging capabilities.

So if for example a user were to download the updated CSS bundle  
(with the recent Preview command), installing it would overwrite all  
changes he may have done to the CSS bundle, and, when TextMate gets  
updated, he won’t see updates to existing items in the CSS bundle  
because he now has a local copy which eclipse it.

So before TM gets a) ability to install into /Library, b) better  
merging capabilities of bundles, and c) a “Revert to Default” in the  
bundle editor, I think it’s a bad idea to provide zipped versions of  
at least the default bundles.

You guys will find Brad’s CSS Preview command in the next build of  
TextMate. And the “Source to HTML” currently in the Experimental  
bundle will find its way into the default bundles.
