These seem like reasonable changes to me.  Atul: what do you think?

BTW there is new verison of specification that addresses on major issues noticed in:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591338

Spec was well adopted by many commonjs non-compatible platforms like npm (most popular package manager for nodejs) and couchdb.

Hmm, this bug is actually a duplicate of bug 552841, whose description is about Packages 1.0 but whose discussion countenances support for the parts of Packages 1.1 that are settled.  Marking as such.

The Add-on SDK is no longer a Mozilla Labs experiment and has become a big enough project to warrant its own Bugzilla product, so the "Add-on SDK" product has been created for it, and I am moving its bugs to that product.

To filter bugmail related to this change, filter on the word "looptid".
