Many applications rely on the message bus (or whatever is routing the
message for delivery to the application) validating the D-Bus message,
in particular validating that strings are proper UTF-8, ensuring that
the message is bounded (max size is 127MiB) and so on. I think that
removing this guarantee is a very bad idea.
