--- Comment #2 from Pekka Paalanen <ppaalanen at gmail.com> ---
Just a minor correction: weston-desktop-shell.xml has nothing to do with
xdg-shell.xml. Weston-desktop-shell.xml is the private protocol used between
the DE components specific to Weston, while xdg-shell.xml is a public protocol
for all apps.

Proposals to generalize or publish things related to weston-desktop-shell.xml
should be new protocol extensions of their own. That stuff does not belong in
xdg-shell.xml.

Of course, nothing prevents promoting weston-desktop-shell.xml into
wayland-protocols, *if* it is deemed necessary. But while libweston is still
seeking form, I'd advice to wait.
