Bundles, a draft specification

[Mildred]

Hi,

I sent a message a while ago on this list about bundles without having
an answer. So I finally created a draft specification for this.

Please excuse the language ...

Bundles are directories that contains others files. And these
directories (called bundles) are to be handled differently by files
managers than usual directories, more like files.

The basic bundle specification just describe the structure of a bundle.
This includes a database that stores mime types for all files in the
bundle.

Then there are two others specifications, one that defines a bookmark
containing an URI and the cached version of the page the URi refers to,
and the others contains only a desktop file and specifies that files
managers should treat this bundle as if it was the desktop file.

Please tell me what you think about this. This is still a draft I just
wrote.

Thanks

Mildred
