Agreed. I've put a little thought into how this could be done for KDE 4.
With the possibility of KDE 4 using DBUS, this could be done: see the DBUS
specification:
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#introspection-format .

If you're interested in helping try to move this forward, or especially if
you're familiar with DBUS (I'm not, nor am I a coder), get in touch with me
by mail. I think the bulk of this work can only be done when KDE 4 has
reached a more advanced stage (it's still in the porting-KDE3-to-Qt4
stage), but we can probably make some progress now.

Regards,
Philip
