Now, now, I changed the title.  If this were a proper hijack, I'd 
be trying to extract a ransom (like fixed AAs). ;)

I don't think it needs to be that strict.  Optional parentheses 
are something that there are mixed opinions on, so that should be 
noted.  It may be better to think of it as "things to reconsider 
in the next version"-- discuss later, once we have a lot more 
time with the current stuff and it's actually TIME to hash out 
the future.

"Not gospel" means it's okay for things like that to be in there. 
  Heck, compare the vision for X12 with what Wayland [0] is 
actually shaping up to be: they're...rather different. ;)  (I'm 
aware that being "the next X11" wasn't Kristian's goal and it was 
originally an experiment to be folded into X.org, but reality is 
weird.)
