Think of location as a primary key for a Bundle. It can also be used to compute an InputStream (i.e. a URL) if one is not specified.

But is the location string ignored in that case, or are you just saying that I can divorce the location string from the actual bundle data source? I brought up the temporary file example just because it usually involves a randomly constructed file name -- one that, if used as a location string, would not match a previously installed bundle's location string. -- Steven E.
