Please excuse me for being slighlty offtopic, but being one of the initiators 
of the xdg-utils scripts I have to voice my agreement with this assessment.

These scripts where intended as a quick work around until a more apporpriate 
solution like standardzed interfaces could be provided.

Unfortunately this never happened for various reasons, so any move into that 
direction is highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Kevin
