I didn't exactly pay much attention to this thread so most likely I'm 
missing the point here completely, but:

the introspection format is for objects so they can tell the world what 
kind of interfaces and methods they support isn't it? But does the above 
explanation mean that each method of each object will have to have a 
binding element for each possible language supported by DBus? That just 
doesn't seem right. (And therefore I'm most likely missing the point, 
like I said ;-))
