I would prefer the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR-based bus to be a separate transport
("protocol") as I suggested more than a year ago on
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61303>. (See
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61303#c32> for my reasoning.)

Unfortunately, that bug seems to be deadlocked, because Lennart strongly
prefers it to be special hard-coded behaviour for when
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set (i.e. his suggestion is that there
is no value for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS that can explicitly select this
behaviour, other than substituting XDG_RUNTIME_DIR into a template with
any disallowed characters escaped).
