There alreayd is an annotation

  http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#introspection-format

  org.freedesktop.DBus.Method.NoReply

I'm not clear on how this is supposed to be used in pratice though. As
a service, I can annotate a method with this, and not send any return
message, but if a client isn't looking for the annotation, it'll hang
forever.
