I think Thiago is right that there's probably no point allowing a 
relative subdir, so just

<standard_session_bus_servicedirs/>

I think would be a good approach. In terms of implementation, it should 
simply "expand" as if a list of standard <servicedir> had been manually 
indicated.

I prefer this to <servicedir xdg=true/> because an attribute shouldn't 
effectively change an element into a different element.

I would name it <standard_session_bus_servicedirs/> since for example 
the xdg spec is not relevant on Windows, but there may still be some 
standard session bus service dirs.
