Just tried loaded my first MusicXML file and the first problem I ran into is the lack of support for MXL files.
I don't know what language REAPER is written in; most coding languages today have built-in support for reading compressed files. In many cases, the change is as simple as adding a modifier when opening the file and adding the MXL suffix to the list accepted by the Insert Media File command.
The OP's suggestion was made almost a year ago. Maybe REAPER's programming language has no support for ZIP files. That would be the only reasonable excuse for not adding MXL support. OK, actually there are other possible reasons, such as not being really interested in supporting MusicXML except as a check-mark on the features list.
