TextMate bundles are *not* following the format of an
application/framework bundle.
For example in an application/framework bundle the Info.plist is placed
in a subfolder named “Contents” which is not the case for TextMate
bundles.
So TextMate is not wrong, it follows the standard I did 10 years ago
*inspired* by Apple, but with the info.plist in lowercase (and at the
root level of the bundle).
I later made TextMate 1.x accept Info.plist as well, but from day one,
the standard was info.plist, and that is what I carried over to 2.0.
