Hi,
A lot of text here, I'm too lazy to read it all. While it is sad not
to get an answer here, I suppose most of your concerns are addressed
in blog posts, esp:
http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/02/10/kde-application-indicators-in-gnome/
and
http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/347
And most proeminently, it is _NOT_ a close spec incompatible with KDE
as the original proposal comes from the KDE world which decided to
replace (at least for its own applications) the notification area with
it.
Now for it to be future proof, I look forward its integration into gnome-shell.
Best regards.
