Having actually read the final version of the spec:

* There is no property to say whether clients can expect OpenUri to work
* Come to think of it, we should have an error that can be raised if 
OpenUri (or TrackAdded) it given a URI it can't deal with.
* The tp documentation for the Loop_State type has a typo (Paylist 
instead of Playlist - see 
http://gitorious.org/mpris/mainline/merge_requests/1).
* We shouldn't be referencing the metadata "suggestions page" for 1.0, 
especially since times are now in usec, not msec.
* What happened to the plan to use xesam properties for the metadata keys?
