Right, -1 on 'bundle' for Zope extensions.

+1 on Zope extension. :)

How about a story like this:

A Zope application is built using one or more Zope extensions. A 
application typically provides some content types through its 
extension(s). These need to be put in the content tree, and offer the 
main user interface into the application. An application can also 
provide utilities and adapters that are used by these content types.

In order to use a Zope application you can use pre-existing Zope 
extensions and assemble your application out of it, or for more 
complicated applications, you write your own Zope extensions.

In the context of Zope, 'application' and 'extension' are clear and the 
'Zope' prefixes are not necessary.
