Indeed, the document carefully eschews this question, which goes hand in 
hand with the question of WHAT desktop environment(s) the Workstation is 
supposed to include. If the goal is (and I think it should be, because 
that's what users expect) a traditional desktop with a panel (containing at 
least the standard items: menu button, task bar, system tray, digital 
clock), a menu (popping up from the menu button in the panel), and a desktop 
displaying the xdg-user-dir for DESKTOP in some place (spread over the 
entire desktop or in a widget, Plasma can do either as desired), then it is 
clear that gnome-shell does NOT qualify.
