no item in the "Open" menu for a "desktop" file with "NoDisplay=true"

Hi.

After upgrading Nautilus 3.6→3.8 the menu item "MPlayer Media Player" 
disappeared from the context "Open" menu of Nautilus. A research has 
showed that this is because "/usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop" 
has "NoDisplay=true". The specification
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
states: |{{{
NoDisplay| means "this application exists, but don't display it in the 
menus". This can be useful to e.g. associate this application with MIME 
types, so that it gets launched from a file manager (or other apps), 
without having a menu entry for it (there are tons of good reasons for 
this, including e.g. the |netscape -remote|, or |kfmclient openURL| kind 
of stuff).
}}}
It states that "[a program] gets launched from a file manager". I agree 
that "this application exists, but don't display it in the menus" is 
confusing, because it *is* displayed in a menu --- in the context menu. 
But we all understand this mistake, isn't it?

So, what do we do now? Ask to correct the mistake in the specification, 
and, probably, revert the behavior of Nautilus to its previous state?
