We (Epiphany project) are badly feeling the lack of such technology. There are
at least three cases where having something like what you are proposing would have been
a great help.
Dashsboard

You can have a look to the problems sharing bookmarks/history in a different way would have
caused on this bug:

OpenApplet

Sharing of bookmarks between free desktops
https://www.redhat.com/archives/xdg-list/2003-June/msg00090.html
I talked with KDE bookmarks mantainer and we couldnt find a decent way to do sharing apart what
you are proposing now.
At least for the last reason I think we should make sure that the frameworks is shareable between
desktops.
Anyway, I really hope to see this happen :)
Thanks
Marco
