Ah, great!
I think this is totally sufficient, maybe even better than an additional 
service.

Some use cases are "Open and pre-fill a composer window", so this would have 
to be handled by a real MUA anyway.
A separate service would probably only be needed if there is no MUA with 
respective D-Bus capabilities registered.
