yeah, tricky question indeed, from what i see this step never was really 
clear.

that could be nice, either one fully working or two with the second at least 
partial?
I think is important to agree when one can be considered "real" also for some 
quite pratic implications: for instance if the spec talks about a DBUS 
interface,  when becomes acceptable that implementations take the 
org.freedesktop.foo bus name..
The implementations of StatusNotifierItem for instance still have 
org.kde.StatusNotifierItem: (they really should switch to org.freedesktop by 
now, modulo the funny retrocompatibility issues that such a move will imply)
