You wrote: 'Each activity bundle must, in its root directory, contain  
a file with the same name as the activity bundle, but ending in  
".info" rather than ".activity"'.

IMHO a fixed name, like "activity.info" would be preferable.

We could then rename the bundle, try different versions etc. without  
needing to touch the inside. Also it would be simpler to script:

	grep default_type *.activity/activity.info

It's common practice as well, like JAR's manifest.mf or OS/X bundle's  
info.plist.
