Given that you aren't guaranteeing to maintain compatibility with the protocol 
between 4.3 and 4.4, can I suggest a "version" method (similar to the one in 
Mpris, but possibly without the need for a special type) so that various 
components can choose not to speak to other ones that only know a different 
version?

I can just see all sorts of havoc if there are subtle semantic changes in the 
interface and you run an application compiled under 4.3 (with 
libknotificationareaitem) under a KDE 4.4 session.
