I'm not really qualified :-), but here's my offhand answers:

a) I think the question is more about the weird packing
   that's going on here?  The real question is whether the
   client or XCB does the packing: I'm inclined toward the
   former, but only barely.

b) Yes, but...  The intention was never to have to do weird
   hacks to XML-encode the stuff---the XML should be
   considered quite flexible at this point, and we should
   make it easily and directly express whatever is needed.
   While multiplication by a Boolean is clever, we should
   replace it with a proper Boolean operator.

c) See a.

d) Please!
