I will read the sources you linked to and place a rule somewhere. Of 
course if you do it before me, it would be really fine. I don't think a 
definition of api must be made first. In general you all seem to agree 
that new api may be added, and old api may be even broken, but that 
should be avoided.

Please start a separate thread because discussing "desktop.open" under 
general api discussion is not a good idea. Please remember to fork 
correctly:
