xorg at lists.freedesktop.org might have been better, but this list works.

GLX is the exception because it was defined by the OpenGL ARB, not X.Org
or it's predecessors, and I'm not sure off hand where to find it - I'd start
looking at http://www.opengl.org/

Most X.Org defined/managed extension specs are in the doc/xorg-docs git repo:
	http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/doc/xorg-docs

The raw sources, in a variety of formats (framemaker, nroff, etc.)
are under the specs directory, with PostScript versions under hardcopy.
A plan to standardize them all to docbook under the sgml directory was
made, but only a few have been converted so far.

A few other extension specs are available in the proto/* repos for the
extensions, such as the randr spec at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/randrproto/tree/randrproto.txt
