My point is that both needs (i.e. use cases) exist.

I know that "intents" and the use of dbus interfaces is about what you

I'm simply pointing out that the other use case (merely starting apps, at most 
with a url on the command line) exists too, and that I'd like to see a 
standard solution for it.
