Thanks Caolan for explaining that to me.
I need the platform descriptions for the Extension Manager.
Currently one can install an extension on any platform, no matter
for what platform the extension is intended. In the future the
Extension Manager should refuse to install an extension when it
cannot work on the user's system.
To achieve this, the extension contains a platform token and the
Extension Manager checks if this token represents the current
platform.
Are you going to be able to run an extension on multiple platforms?
Such as one that has been built as a Universal Binary for Mac OS X
Intel and PPC? Or doesn't have platform specific code?

Currently it is only planned to have the Extension Manager check the
platform during installation.
In a networked environment you could be using the same openoffice
preferences on multiple platform (more commonly just separate
architectures).
