Don’t forget document-application bindings. Double-click a file that belongs to application “Foo” when you have both Foo 1.0 and Foo 2.0 installed on your machine, and who knows which one you’ll get — but boy, does it ever love to pick things out of ~/Library/Mail and ~/Library/Mail Downloads.
If Apple updated LaunchServices to have it look at the CFBundleVersion when multiple applications have the same bundle identifier and always pick the latest one, I’d be a happy man.
