Like I said on IRC, I think this isn't a bad idea in principle; while
I'm not yet convinced of its usefulness, it costs us nothing (we just need
to drop a couple of files in /srv/dbus.freedesktop.org/www/ to document
that some of our URI-space has been delegated to implementors of random D-Bus
stuff).

One complaint about terminology:

A name like org.freedesktop.Avahi or org.gnome.ScreenSaver is not a "bus",
it's a "bus name" (more specifically, a "well-known bus name"), so use
/bus-name/ or something.

I think the only things "bus" could possibly mean are either instances of
dbus-daemon, or types of dbus-daemon (system vs session), neither of
which is what you mean.

(Irrelevant: What's going on with the U+FEFF "zero-width no-break space"
characters in the middle of your message?)
