While it's true that the contents of the archive might unzip correctly, the actual files names that are restored on the destination system might very well be material to the receiver. What's just wonky in the US might be unacceptable in Spain and of course "depending on how you look at them" is what ccsid's are all about. Since a zip archive has no record of the ccsid used on the creating system it is sometimes more than just helpful if the archive creator formats the name so it appears on the receiving system the same way as it did to the sender.

the names in the jar archives may show up wonky. But it amounts to a
cosmetic issue, and everything is still fine.
