Really?
If you are correct, I feel deep regret for it.

Thank you for your advice. Your advice sounds good.
But, There is a problem. We wrote design documents in Japanese.
So, I must translate these to English.
Nevertheless, I intend to write API document in source code,
to write specification and architecture documents, and to propose
xdg at freedesktop.org. Because your advice is maybe good.
If I do so, I must collaborate with D-Bus team.
I also want to collaborate.
