That looks fine, applied.  For v2 of wl_seat, I do have one other
items I want to do before we release:

 - destroy requests for wl_seat, wl_pointer, wl_keyboard, and
   wl_touch.  This is one of the slightly embarassing protocol gaps
   that needs to get fixed.  We can't call it wl_seat.destroy, since
   the scanner already auto-generates a wl_seat_destroy() destructor
   for the wl_proxy, which doesn't send a request.  Calling the
   destroy request 'destroy' would mean that old code that calls
   wl_seat_destroy() would be sending a v2 request without proper
   version checking.  So we have to call the request something else.
   I like wl_seat_close().  Same goes for pointer, keyboard and touch.
