Good idea. Here's a proposed re-wording of the documentation. 

Changes:
 - for get_command(), I changed the verb from 'request' to 'retrieve' to make
   it (I think) a bit more clear that it's getting the command and not simply
   making a request. Also tweaked the wording a bit.
 - for req_cmd_notification(), I dropped the part about "spice-server handled
   all commands" since I think the documentation should just focus on the
   function implementation, not about when it is called. I also added some more
   details about exactly how the server gets notified after studying the code
   for a while (thanks Uri!).
