Enum names lowercase?

Yes, the state setting is double buffered. It is applied on
wl_surface::commit.

Yes, I agree. There is a protocol for color management which is
currenlty under discussion in the mailing list. The protocol would share
these primaries, white point details as icc profiles using file fds. We
intend to incorporate the luminance information and mastering chromacity
information into the same protocol.

Agreed.

Yes, the HDR state is reset on destroying the object.

Thanks again for reviewing. As this is just a provisional protocol, we
didn't give much heed to the exact details. I agree that it shouldn't be
the case. I will update this protocol with more details and send in v2.
