It'd have been good to clearly state that you're only talking about the
client side of MAP (it became clear to me only after noticing that
you've got org.openobex.client in the D-Bus API). The server side would
e.g. be implemented through an obexd plugin.

Are you sure you want to use D-Bus for this? I suspect the required
bandwidth will be too high to be efficiently handled using D-Bus.
Wouldn't a MAP specific library on top of OpenOBEX make more sense?
