Targetted signals

Hi,
This has come up before but I don't think there was a good resolution to
it, and now that DBus 1.0 is drawing closer I think it needs a good
answer. Can signals be send to a specific address, or are they always
broadcast to all interested parties?
For example, if :1.2 and :1.3 both have relevant matchers to receive
this signal:
message = dbus_message_new_signal ("/foo", "FooInterface", "Bar");
Will doing this:
dbus_message_set_destination (message, ":1.2");
Cause the signal to be sent to both :1.2 and :1.3 (destination is
ignored, signals are sent to all interested clients), or just :1.2?
(destination if set is respected)?
Thanks,
Ross
