It's possible people didn't know about it, I'm not sure if it was
submitted as it should have been.

Note, this spec is not final; in particular the "message balloon"
stuff was going to come out because people wanted to make their own
balloons instead of having the tray do it. (I still like the balloons
being done in a single consistent place, but there wasn't good
consensus.)

However, I don't remember any controversy on the actual docking part,
and that's all the patch adds.
