Should we *all* be using the global standard ("latest" = Feb 2007)?

    http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/

In that context should we gamers be using "Comment=" not "Description="
(though scripty accepts either) and something like Type=KDEGameTheme,
with the group being [Desktop Entry]?  For our non-standard keys (including
"Author="), a prefix (e.g. X-KDE-) or a separate group is required.
Personally I would prefer the separate group idea.
