Not everyone remembers history the same way and I based my opinion on
comments rather than on mailing-list archives (will download and read
them now). Therefore I would like to get rid of the first sentence of
this item, turning it into this:

- We should explicitly define a process regarding the attribution of
org.freedesktop interfaces, even if there is no technical mean to
enforce it (Using a different namespace until the proposal has been
approved, like what has been done with org.kde.NotificationItem, is a
good start IMHO)
