[Magic] Type vs Types in Info element

All:
In walking through the index.xml parsing code, I noticed that <info> element
handles the <type> element in two distinct fashions:
- one can add one or more <type> elements as direct children of the <info>
element
- one can add a <types> element as a child of the <info> element. The <types>
element can then contain a set of <type> elements
This strikes me as odd and less than ideal because:
- it complicates parsing
- it complicates validation
- it is confusing to the user may assume there is a difference between the
two.
Just my 2 cents.
