   Rygel also needs this. Currently we just serve the thumbails if they've been 
already created by another app but its very much desired to be able to create 
them ourselves or request another entity to do that.

   True and one reason I'm not using it already in Rygel. Another reason to not 
use this spec is that IMHO we should have one service for both thumbnail and 
albumart extraction/download with simple APIs (get the thumbnail/albumart for 
this URI/album/artist and notify me when its done).
