I would greatly appreciate if a note to that effect was placed in, as I 
would think that many people try to implement the startup spec on their 
own iwthout using libstartupnotification; I, for one, in reading the 
spec assumed what PCMan did. It didn't make any difference in the end, 
but clarification is always good.
