As it is a possible usage that someone would want to show it as zero, but also that you'd want to send notifications that didn't effect the badge number directly. I think that the lifecycle should be mentioned in the doc, I don't think every notification that goes by should have to have the number in it. It should only adjust when requested. I'm a little worried about using the notifications spec for this because there's no way to get the current state of the count. So if an application had a helper that wanted to "add one" to the count there's no way to implement that. It might make more sense to move the Dock Manager spec into something FD.o as there are a few docks that implement versions of it already: <A HREF="http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=Writing_Helpers#DockManager_DBus_Interface_Specification">http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=Writing_Helpers#DockManager_DBus_Interface_Specification</A> Not sure how many of them are still being developed though.
