There is already a UniConf daemon that serves over dbus and therefore meets
all these requirements.  (There's another that serves over tcp, ssl, or unix
domain sockets.  You can also operate without a daemon at all if you want.)

If people agree on a set of dbus messages that the "D" configuration system
ought to use for communication, we'll be happy to update the UniConf dbus
server to comply.  Or you could start by basing your dbus message schema on
the existing UniConf one.

Have fun,
