I'd like to hear others' opinions about changing these to hard-coded values 
instead of the confusing, barely-documented rfc1034identifier crap. Really, the 
first time I saw $(PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier) in my Info.plist I thought 
the file was corrupt. That's NOT a good, human-readable (not even 
programmer-readable) thing to do. I'm with you on the old-fogeyism, but I also 
think it's neat when things just work automatically if I decide to change the 
app name, because I sure would want the UTI to change as well. The only problem 
is that horrible way that Apple is doing it.
