I agree with your arguments.  And just for the same reasons I suggested
to create generalized functions in respective modes.

Currently, mode handling functions in desktop.el have references
to desktop global variables desktop-buffer-misc, desktop-buffer-file-name,
desktop-buffer-name, etc.  These variables should stay in desktop.el.
And new mode handling functions should be created in respective modes
with no free references to desktop variables.  The values should be
given to these general functions only via function arguments.
