--- Comment #20 from Will Thompson <will.thompson at collabora.co.uk>  2010-03-30 11:27:07 PST ---
>From a spec meeting:

Connection interface:

• SupportedAnonymityModes should be documented to only be stable once
  you've connected. Should x-ref the type.

• Should SetAM just be a writeable D-Bus property? Maybe not if it
  involves talking to the sky on GSM. But it needs to be a writeable
  D-Bus so that it can be a connection parameter which is also a D-Bus
  property using the DBus_Property Conn_Mgr_Param_Flag, allowing Mission
  Control to update it on the fly when you change the corresponding
  Account's parameters.

• Will wonders if this interface might be overly tinfoil hatty and
  support features no-one will ever use, and maybe we should just have a
  HideCallerID: b property?
  · Others think that supporting these other flags is fine, but we
    should order the flags by how obscure they are, so that the one you
    actually care about — OriginatorInfo, aka caller-id — is first, and
    then the introduction can say "If you just care about hiding your
    caller ID, call Set("Flags", 1)".

• Capitalization is wrong. smcv or similar needs to do an editorial
  pass-through.

Channel interface:

• Properties don't need to be Initial*, they're immutable. Should be
  AnonymityModes, AnonymityMandatory
• Should say that those two are requestable.
• AnonymizedDisplayName: this isn't a display name, it's an Identifier.
  Say that it's not requestable.
