Any example of fd.o specifications that are implemented in GNOME but not in
KDE?
Well, maybe the shared mime-type spec, but it is agreed on, David Faure and
other core-devs actively worked on the drafts, so I would be surprised if it
isn't implemented soon.
Especially when assuming lack of participation one should check the menu spec,
which depends on the desktop-entry spec, and then perhaps check the archives
on who introduced them first (hint: file extension back then was kdelnk)
I really don't get where this weird assumption came up that there is a lack of
KDE contributions to the standardisation process.
Until now my observations tell me that all involved parties implement majured
specifications as soon as their respective release schedules permit.
But I am only reading the main fd.o mailinglist, maybe I missed an important
spec all other parties have already implemented and which isn't on the 3.4
feature list.
Cheers,
Kevin
