you are right. a release date of an application might not be equal to the 
release date of the corresponding bundle.

><release>
>         <version>2.5.6</version>
>         <date>01-03-2004</date>
>         <notes>Fixed: ... Bugs: ...</notes>
></release>
><bundle>
>         <version>20040301-2</version>
>         <date>01-03-2004</date>
>         <notes>

></bundle>
><changelog>
>         <release>...</release>
>         <bundle>...</bundle>
></changelog>

IMHO, this approach seems to me the better one.

what happens, if the package.xml / application.xml doesn't contain a 
<bundle> element ? does the installer automatically use the <release> 
information (date, etc..) for bundle data ?
