local has special meaning in D-Bus too (at least in QtDBus) in that 
interfaces starting with "local." are not cached and are allowed to differ 
between two implementations. That is, local.foo find in service A can have 
different methods from local.foo found in service B. But invalid.foo would 
not.

This of course means an increased memory use and parsing time.
