My understanding is that Finder decides that frameworks are user
browsable because they're directories, but not packages.
Applications are not user browsable because they descend from
com.apple.package. The bundle type says something about how the
directory's contents are arranged; the package type says something
about how it should be presented to the user. You can have either,
both, or neither.
I'm not sure whether this is now classed as legacy behaviour, but on
HFS+ at least, Finder looks at the "bundle bit" to determine whether
something is treated as a bundle or just an ordinary folder.
You can see this if you use /Developer/Tools/SetFile to set the bundle
bit for a folder (e.g. /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a B MyFolder).
Kind regards,
Alastair.
