[PATCH wayland-protocols v2 11/13] xdg-shell: clarify map/unmap wording

[Jasper St. Pierre]

(Coming into this one late)

When I first wrote xdg-shell, I maintained that attaching a NULL buffer
should be illegal since it has no benefit compared to destroying the
surface, but compositors might not reset all data attached to the surface,
making a weird exception where clients depend on bugs where state isn't
always reset. And the "resetting of all data" might seem like strange
behavior to clients.

Has this rationale changed?
