Missing arg names in introspection data

Hi,

While most services on D-Bus have decent argument names in introspection 
data, the D-Bus server itself seems to be missing these, like this:

      <signal name="NameOwnerChanged">
        <arg type="s"/>
        <arg type="s"/>
        <arg type="s"/>
      </signal>

If you want to know what string means what, you can find that in the 
documentation, but since I auto-generate some code from introspection 
data, it would be nice if the names were set in introspection data as 
well. Is this omission intentional?
