Yeah, the spec says nothing about this. It's not clear whether
"middle" nodes should be synthesized or not for cases like this. I
decided to keep things minimal for sd-bus, and I think we should stay
with that unless this turns out to be a real problem for
something. Note though that the nodes in between actually are
accessible if you use their path explicitly, they just aren't
announced in the introspection, that's all.

But maybe Simon has an opinion on this? Simon?
