As I was last time this was proposed, I'm interested in getting this off
the ground - a common dbus interface to do basic operations with media
players would be great.

Those three pages point to different variations of the spec, and there
are quite a few important differences - both large and subtle. Is there
a canonical version of the spec, and a canonical place to discuss it?

Most of it looks good to me, but there are few things that I think could
be done slightly better, or don't really make sense to all music players
(so probably shouldn't be in a "basic" interface that everyone must
implement).
