This is basically the idea behind Wasabi: http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/WasabiAbout > Are there any plans for that?

Yeah, I would love to see this implemented initially as an external adapter which basically translated Wasabi stuff into Beagle calls and vice versa (in C#). That way we can see how suitable the spec is in terms of user experience, and it'll give us an idea if D-Bus is suitable for this type of use. (Two years ago when we were last using D-Bus, it wasn't.)
