has my comments on the issue.  I will say though if someone made a
patch for dbus-glib which made it optionally export properties in the
suggested way (say keyed off an XML flag) I'd happily accept.   I'd
also suggest new dbus bindings do this by default.

But changing the spec is wrong, unless you also have a time machine.
