Once the meta-data plug-in is built and has been tested, you make it available for Spotlight's use by putting it into one of the following directories:
~/Library/MDImporters
/Library/MDImporters

Why not also search the application wrappers per default (My.app/Contents/MDImporters)?

Not a bad idea. Why don't you submit that as feature request?

So I can post an evil application which, when visible to the Finder, will be scanned and have its malicious MD plug-in loaded and executed (because its Resources also contain a file of the type handled by the plug-in), all without requiring the user to actually launch the offending app? Cool. That removes all user intervention from our obstacles. Now all I need to do is post a misleading URL link...
