On a somewhat related note, I'd always wondered why the EO model and
WO component bundles had a flat structure - they didn't have the
usual single Contents/ directory containing the actual files.
Instead, they just had a bunch of files at the first level of the
folder. Recently, it occurred to me that this was for the benefit of
developers on Windows - they can't just double click on the folder to
open the model or component. They have to drill down a bit and double-
click on the right file - this saves a level of drilling.
Maybe now that WO development on WIndows is deprecated, Apple can
restructure the bundles a bit to be more conventional. However, since
NIB files still have the same one-level arrangement - presumably an
artifact of the OpenStep on WIndows days - I doubt it.
(One thing I would like is if the files in the .wo bundles weren't
named the same as the enclosing folder itself. Instead, every .wo
should contain, index.html, index.wod, & index.woo. That would make
it easier to rename & copy WO components just by renaming the bundle,
without getting into the package contents.)

I've always assumed that it stands for "directory", it being a
file package. The 'd' in rtfd would have the same meaning.
Humm. I always took the "d" in rtfd/eomodeld to mean "Document
Package/Bundle," but I suppose that's basically the same thing.
