Its a file in the .rbx called VersionInfo.txt, and its format is like this: (The first line is optional, it is to support old versions of our Reader application before we were using XML)


I really like this format. I think Björn is right that it would be pretty easy to create tools to either add that file into an existing rbx or to build it into the rbx format when the plugin is created. And, as Björn pointed out, there wouldn't be anything wrong with extending the information with new fields. Perhaps it would be a good idea to agree on the important new fields, though, so they could be considered part of the standard.
