  Yes, I agree this helps keep the file looking correct when
LaunchServices can't find the matching application (since the
application itself declares the type and declares it as being a
bundle/package), but my point is that I don't believe this on its own
is sufficient, is it? As I understand it, you have to provide the
appropriate bundle structure (Info.plist with a Contents folder, etc.)
so Finder recognizes it and knows what to do.
