We are in complete agreement (I think).  All I was saying is that
no change to the protocol is required to support what you (and I)
want.  What is required at a minimum is for someone to propose
the property-related information and policies to standardize on.
What it takes to really make things happen is for someone to
volunteer to write a client that will create and control the
documentation window, and to contribute interfaces (and
implementations!) for C routines to exist at the Xlib or
Toolkit level to make it convenient for applications to define
documentation.  I don't think anyone would object if you or
your organization volunteered.

Despite how wonderful and important I think the idea is, the
reality is that there are only finite resources presently
committed to getting the base V11 implementation out the door
on schedule.  Other people are going to have to contribute
if they want to see their favorite policies incorporated.
