I don't get why we are talking about this over and over again. When we think we came to a conclusion it is always a matter of time before somebody brings this up *again*. However, IMO this is nothing we should discuss in a blueprint, if the current situation is a problem for user it is a bug, so we should discuss it in a bugreport, and there is already bug 462894 which deals with this problem.
And if we still think this is an issue, we should try to solve it for all time.
If we would like to solve it (Mikkel convinced me some time ago that we go with the current situation) then I see only one valid and possible solution: let certain clients claim exclusive communication (insert and/or query) with the zeitgeist daemon. This exclusive communication is defined by a set of templates and it is not the clients who check if they are allowed to do any kind of communication, it is the engine who does all the management. I started implementing this idea at lp:~thekorn/zeitgeist/exclusive_clients but did not finish it, because I don't think we need it.
