OpenJDK : cannot load an applet if archive is not a .jar

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
On the website, the applet cannot be loaded using OpenJDK :
http://www.lemonde.fr/jeux/article/2001/01/22/les-mots-croises-de-philippe-dupuis_139043_3280.html

I think the problem comes from the website, which declares the archive as a .zip instead of a .jar (which is quite strange) :
<applet codebase="http://www.lemonde.fr/motscroises/"; archive="crossword.zip" code="Crossword.class" height="490" width="475">

However, it appears that sun-java can run it (I asked someone to test on WinXP), so I think this special case could be handled in openjdk (icedtea6-plugin).
