These two paragraphs are almost entirely content-free, and could be
omitted without loss of information.

xfce4-notifyd is a program, so what it IS isn't interesting, only what
it DOES.  It does not implement a specification, its programmer
(yourself?) has done this (thanks!).

What that last paragraph says is that if I want to know what the program
does, I have to go and look SOMEWHERE ELSE, possibly in the following
website, possibly on the freedesktop website, possibly on Wikipedia,
possibly elsewhere.  This is a pity.

Or, given that I've a vague idea of what program notification is, and
that it's not much relevant to what I do, I'll just leave off, wondering
vaguely how and why an inter-program communication mechanism gets
represented in a GUI.

Sorry to appear so ungrateful.  But it is just after 04:00 Central
European Summer Time and it's uncomfortably warm for the time of night.
:-(
