I like the idea of focusing on "installing an application into the menu system"
as a test case.
Before we start defining APIs, though, can we gather a list of the specs
which might be involved (for fd.o, kde, gnome)?

Is this the full list of freedesktop.org specs that might be involved
in installing an app?

http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fshared_2dmime_2dinfo_2dspec
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fmime_2dactions_2dspec

FWIW, here's a grabbag of pages that seem to touch on the topic.
