That's a good idea, but I'm not sure if AppData wants to be a superset of the desktop specification. I think it's related, but orthognal. There are cases where you'd want a different name in an software center to the search term in the shell, and other cases like that. Taking that into account, I don't think it would share much at all, and the additional dep of a tool to go from XML->desktop would probably be too much for some projects.
