Bundle vs. Package

Douglas Davidson:

I try to encourage people to distinguish between the terms “bundle” and “package,” using “package” to refer to a directory that is intended to be presented to the user as a single object, and “bundle” to refer to a directory that is structured so as to be used with CFBundle/NSBundle APIs. The two concepts are sometimes related, but are independent in general…

It’s a bit confusing, since the “bundle bit” is used to indicate folders that are packages.
