I assume you mean out a(oa{sv}) children (or maybe a{oa{sv}} unless 
ordering of children is something people will care about?).

(Maybe we should define a type code for D-Bus interface names?)

I agree. A variant of GetAll() that operates on multiple objects and 
multiple interfaces would be handy, and this looks like a neat way to 
combine both that and discovering the objects' paths in the first place. 
(It'd be great for enumerating Telepathy accounts, for instance.)
