>The spec previously mentioned that CORBA calls this activation, but
>did not explicitly say that D-Bus has copied this jargon term.
>It's 2016, and developers are probably more likely to be familiar
>with D-Bus than with CORBA at this point: explicitly say that *our*
>jargon term for this action is activation.
