Hi,

yeah, this is definitely not post-alpha material, because it is
changing the Wayland protocol XML language, which is even more
fundamental than the wayland.xml itself. Also, with wayland.xml we know
what things change ABI, but changing the XML language is much harder to
reason about, as the discussion shows.

Sorry, but I do not have time to look into this soon.
