Sure, works for me.

Yeah, my bad - our API uses get_description() for the Comment field.

That may indeed be an issue. No immediate idea how to address this other
than to appeal to anyone's sane judgement; also abusing Keywords looks
less bad than abusing the Comment field (which we use as well in
search).
Other than that, I found another issue:
"For historical reasons KDE is using some KDE-specific extensions that
are currently not prefixed by a X-KDE- prefix.
- KDE specific keys: ServiceTypes, DocPath, Keywords,
InitialPreference"
Is that a blocker or is (X-KDE-)Keywords compatible with this proposal
(and Keywords can be removed from the KDE-only section)?
