Yes, and of course both applications would do anything it takes to get listed 
in the package manager. Still, if KDE would go with its own thing it would be 
unnecessarily painful. I just wanted to say that KDE doing its own thing is a 
kind of virtual option since nobody would profit from it.

We're probably getting into a fight over uninteresting details here, sorry for 
bringing them up. I just wanted to make two points, which are
 - looking for this metadata file is not a good way to ensure quality
 - I like the spec but I do not like the way it is presented to KDE.

Exactly.
