I'm sorry, but I haven't understood your proposals, so I haven't been 
able to reply. They are for whatever reason not clear enough to me; try 
putting it in terms of a patch to the dbus spec, perhaps.

The protocol spec is on the dbus website, if you google for "dbus 
protocol spec" it is the first result. It's also in the dbus cvs 
checkout or tarball under doc/dbus-specification.xml.
