I didn't infer that from what David wrote.

That notwithstanding, X.org, under the aegis of The Open Group, "owns" X11. 
GNU/gcc don't get to redefine what ANSI C is by adding extensions to their
compiler. Likewise, the definition of what the X Window System is comes 
from X.org and The Open Group.

XFree86 is a member of X.org -- they should make a proposal when they're 
ready.
