It needs to be updated for the current plug-in SDK, if there is one. The
old plug-in SDK has suffered from bit rot.
> 3. New locales have been added.
> a. Where are they from?
SUSE Linux 9, among other places. (It's in the commit log for
locale.alias 1.1.4.4.)
N.B. for jg: These are not new "locales", they're locale.dir and
locale.alias entries to let Xlib work with the locales that come with
the OS.
> b. Should we keep them for the rlease?
I'd say yes.
> 4. The docs talk about X11 Version 6.7 DRAFT in XFree86 but
> X11 Version 6.7 in Xorg. We will keep that, however XFree86
> also talks about X Protocol and Xilb X11 Release 6.7 while Xorg
> talks about Release 6.4. I assume this is a typo in the
> Xorg case.
