And that perfectly describes DBUS.

And DBUS has multiple independent implementations. I have my own small version in pure Rust, for example.

I'll send a link to http://discuss.rust-lang.org in a week or so, once it clears our IP lawyers.

Woo, thanks. I'd love to use Rust as the language for my "no-DE" DBus service endpoints (logind, polkit, udisk, etc.). Both to get them done and to use Rust without it being a "eh, I'll reimplement this" project. *waits impatiently*
