>From the current documentation set at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372049.aspx, the SDK
documentation says:

'The description *should* include the phrase "Installation Database."'

My emphasis on *should*. The SDK doesn't define 'should' so it's not clear
if this is a recommendation or a requirement. The 'Title Summary Property'
page at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372083.aspx says:

'Phrases such as "Installation Database" or "Transform" or "Patch" may be
used for this property.'

That doesn't sound like a requirement to me.

I think it probably should be configurable and it's up to the developer to
include "Installation Database" in whatever they set. If a Title attribute
were omitted from the Package element (I assume that it would be
Package/@Title) it should default to what WiX currently sets, so we don't
break existing source.

I'm afraid, though, that I could only recommend doing this for WiX v3.0.
There's no chance that a change this trivial would get into v2.0 (IMO).

It's not configurable because the MSI doc says it should have a 
particular string.
