spotlight, file extension, and UTIs

I have an spotlight plugin that indexes documents with extension ".fb2". These documents come from a UNIX server in zipped format with extension ".fb2.zip". For example "foo.fb2.zip" is an archive of "foo.fb2". I do not want to require the user to uncompress documents after downloading to index them, because my application (that can view those documents) can handle zipped versions just fine (and it saves storage space). So I want my Spotlight plugin to be able to index both .fb2 and .fb2.zip files. BUT! it looks like Mac OS only considers ".zip" to be an extension and not ".fb2.zip" My question is: How can I define a UTI that maps to .fb2.zip? Is there a way to get Spotlight to index .fb2.zip with my plugin? The only solution I found so far is to assign all .zip files to my plugin and then handle only those that have .fb2.zip extension. But this is clearly unacceptable -- I do not want to hijack all .zip files...

Thank you.
