I'm working in a OPD page ordered by Bernard ;-) for the new website and noticed a "detail" in the oscar_packages.xml file structure. As far as I know, we defined the tags <package> and </package> to delimit the "zone" containing the detais of a package in the list. There is at least one case where those "reserved" tags where used "inside" a package zone to delimitate other thing than the package itself:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
<requires>
<type>package</type>

Is this OK? Because I'm having a bad time here trying to make my parser
disregard this one possibility :-).
Yes, this is very definitely done on purpose. It's how one package tells switcher that it wants to be in the switcher configuration (i.e., it has a switcher module file). There's an ODA shortcut that Neil created for me that does a search on these things -- I use it to create the switcher configurator screen.
More specifically, any package can put a <switcher> block inside their <package> block (with an appropriate <tag> and <name>) and switcher will "see" that when it is building its configurator page.
