you noticed. that's really good.

just so you're aware, there exists many companies that have
done 3D/Video proxying some even within browsers, for security
reasons. entire W3C HTML5 2D/3D SVG implemented *in* W3C
HTML5 2D/3D SVG and these browser-protocol-proxy-plugins?
of course they run *in* browsers *under* X11 and it is of
course the *local* browser's responsibility to display the
remote-proxied (complex) protocol that is being "managed" by
the server that is handling the (entire, proxied, full W3C
protocol/screen/HTML5-page).

adding such complex protcol implementations *directly to X11*
is so clearly deeply inappropriate that your grumbling that it
is not there came as something of an alarming shock to me.

so thank you for noticing.
