Why adding an obscure set of IPC mechanism in network tree, and not using (maybe extending) traditional IPC (Messages queues, semaphores, Shared memory, pipes, futexes, ...).
I actually don't understand why there is so much resistence to using a real bonafide on-the-wire protocol, and that way if you ever wanted to connect dbus instances on multiple machines or log dbus transactions remotely for debugging, you could just do it.
