I'd expect real daemons to detach from the terminal and create a new session / new process group. Or is it, that just too few actually do? Certainly, nohup(1) has been used traditionally for such purposes - but it becomes useless, if programs reset their signal handlers at startup (e.g., some xemacs), and is quite inconvenient because one has to decide at startup.
