Yes, that's kind of the caveat with this spec. I remember back in the day 
having some auto-probing for video DVDs prior to mounting them, the same 
technique could be applied for autorun, but that's likely not worth the 
effort.

But my point is that we also have this automounter service nowaday, so the 
autorun logic could be moved there. Of course would mean that automount would 
be a prerequisite to "autorun on insert", but I think that could be a nice 
trade-off.

Regards.
