Binary diffs on addon packages are probably not worth the effort or bandwidth savings. Sure, things like LightHeaded could benefit, but doing proper binary diffs is a bit more involved than just coding it in.

You've got to either calculate a deltas from version A to B to C to D to E, or from A to E, or from D to E, or none of the above and calculate/store them all on the server.

Or you can just check a version on a zip and copy it over.
