Yes, that would not work. If you want to use OBR to provision your applications, you can do so using the obr commands, but that's not currently supported by the features provisioning system.
In any case, if we were to support such a thing, i would not use a <bundle> element, as this is really supposed to identify one bundle, not a group of bundle. I think we could add a flag on the feature definition that would inform the features service to use OBR to download any missing dependency needed to resolve the list of bundles listed in the feature. I think that would solve your problem in a nice way. What do you think ?
