Though before we do this, I think it'd be more valuable to go through
the various bindings/apps and make sure they're using the existing
detail match rule.  I remember discussion before about cases where
bindings/apps were watching for NameOwnerChanged from the bus, without
a match rule that means tons of processes wake up every time one
leaves or joins the bus.
