In current dbus-daemon(1) implement, system .serivce must named after
its owned name, but this is not the case for session .service.
For session service, the result of multiple .service files own the
same well known name is undefined since readdir(3) doesn't return
dirent in a defined sequence.

According to Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_%28engineering%29#Packet-switched_networks
latency means "the time from the source sending a packet to the destination
receiving it". Therefore, latency is unrelated to whether the operation is
asynchronous or synchronous. And also unrelated to whether it's one-way or
round-trip. Latency exists for asynchronous and one-way transfer, because for
current DBus implementations we need at least one context switch to transfer
each message from the sender process to the receiver process. Emphasizing
D-Bus is low-latency could encourage user to abuse/misuse the system.

On Windows, the dbus-daemon is not able to fork (daemonize). If someone
explicitly requests forking, it should fail, but if someone
explicitly requests *not* forking, there seems no harm in allowing it.
A few of the regression tests specifically require a dbus-daemon that
will not fork, so allowing this option on Windows means those tests
don't need an extra OS condition.

There are a lot of examples in DBus Spec, and some of them just use the
namespace org.freedesktop, and so as object namespace org/freedesktop.
However, this is quite confusing.

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID is not mandatory to set, but we should unset it
if present, since it points to a different session's bus. Likewise for
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_WINDOWID.
Similarly, if DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE and DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS
are set (as they would be under GNOME Terminal 3.8, see
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63119>) then they
are likely to point to a different session's bus.

In order to authorize/reject a connection in a polite way, instead of
cutting it off after authentication succeed and Hello() is
sent, because authorization failed, we need to factor out some
authorization bits from DBusTransport and pass them to DBusAuth.

These are only part of the DBus interface because dbus-daemon didn't
previously support multiple interfaces. I don't know enough about
either of these security frameworks to know what they return, but
perhaps one day someone who knows about Solaris or SELinux will tell
us...

Building it unconditionally causes problems for minimal installations
(OSTree), and building it opportunistically means the tarball isn't
guaranteed to contain it, depending who releases libdbus and which
packages they happen to have installed at the time. If this documentation
is important enough that we need to ship it precompiled in tarballs,
we should guarantee it; or if it isn't important enough to justify that,
we should just drop it.
I don't think we really need it in the tarballs at all: most users
will get their libdbus from a binary distribution (in which case I expect
the distribution's dbus maintainers to set appropriate
build-dependencies), and those who build from source can either
install xmlto, read the documentation on our website, or at worst,
read the source XML. (We don't put the Doxygen-generated API reference
HTML in the tarball either, and I haven't heard any complaints.)
