having a proper specification was blocked at the time by gnome, and all 
attepts to resurrect the process was met with as many roadblocks.
with ubuntu, at least has been reached an agreement, not identical but at 
least applications do work on one another, and given the state of things, this 
is already amazing.

final specification won't happen, at least not on freedesktop (and i don't 
think at this point any new meaningful work can happen on freedesktop at all)
