 I'm a bit late, but yes, I'd like to see the startup-notification-spec moved 
out of this one implementation of it and kept separate. The current situation 
gives the impression that this implementation is the reference 
implementation, which it is not (if nothing else, it lags behind the spec). I 
don't remember anymore why it was originally created this way, but apparently 
that's not the right way.
