dbus: api or implementation detail

Hi,
A set of interfaces between HAL and desktop apps represents a contract
with a well-known stability level (for instance, once HAL reaches 1.0,
the contract remains valid throughout 1.x releases). Is D-BUS part of
the contract? From my limited understanding, libhal.h +
properties/capabilities are what the apps can expect to be stable. D-BUS
seems to be an implementation detail: HAL could change D-BUS message
definitions or even switch to a different IPC mechanism without breaking
the apps, as long as hald and libhal are in sync. Is it true or at least
the direction HAL is moving towards?
thanks,
-Artem.
