Sounds good in principle, but in practice have you ever try to run 
Google Earth with Compiz?

Sometimes "standards" take a while get standardized.

I like many things about Ion that are very interesting (inspiring for 
some Rev script editor/object browser ideas), but givens its, shall we 
say, "mixed" development history I can't help but wonder if it's really 
the best test case to use here: the author has since abandoned open 
source and Linux altogether, and no distro ships with it as its default 
choice (I don't think any even include it).  It's a nice work, but I'm 
not sure it's the best choice for testing "standards".
