Hmm. Maybe later this year. Haven't got lots of time at the moment. Also 
i have the impression that there are some open questions regarding dapi: 
Will it move to dbus and how? Will it use dbus through the dbus-daemon - 
which would make streaming file-data quite hard - or will there be an 
extra socket using the dbus protocol (point to point)...

You know that i have created my own socket protocol for an async 
"job-based" communication model (vio-trans and dapii) which would be 
necessary for real vfs access, but got stuck somewhere in the middle 
(lack of time)...

That's why i wrote the xdg-vfs tools, which probably cover 90% of the 
use-cases with minimal complexity and fit into the xdg-utils concept.

cheers,
Norbert
