Yes, actually that's what was suggested during the meeting.
The initial idea of a global "fd.o approved" / "fd.o rejected" status quickly turned into
something that was more like
gnome-approved [yes/no] kde-approved [yes/no] xfce-approved [yes/no] lxde-approved [yes/no] etc.
(which is separate from "implemented in gnome 2.4; implemented in kde 4.3", of course;
we can approve something much before finding the time to implement it)

So if a 3rd party app wonders about using a given spec, it's up to them to
decide if no/no/yes/yes to the above questions is enough for them or not.

(Technically it's: [yes | no | not decided yet], of course)
