Hey, Tambet :)

I made this realisation too after sending the first spec (sending something 
always refreshes the parts actually thinking about it doesn't reach ;)).

Excellent.  I hadn't found this page.  The KDE api I wrote to abstract NM and 
other potential backends is spookily similar - especially having the 
Connection bound to a type but not an instance of a device.  This will make 
implementing a NM 0.7 backend for Solid easy.

Is anyone working on turning this into a dbus spec yet?  I can help with this 
if needed.
