The spec actually contains language like this (quoting from memory, as the link to the draft on freedesktop.org is dead): "Tooltip: a descriptive string which the implementation will display as a tooltip, or any other way it seems fit, or not at all" Hint: if you don't want applications to assume a certain representation, you don't use element names which imply a representation. So rather than the example above, you should have used language like: "Description: a string providing optional details about the item; implementations are free to not use the information, so applications MUST NOT rely on it" But if you provide an element "OverlayIcon", it'd be better rendered as overlayed icon and not as dancing penguins.
