Yeah, I'm a fan of it being an optional standard that's separate from the core display protocol. The problem is that it needs to be a standard, not 3 different standards because it wasn't standardized so 3 different groups created their own things, and all of the standards needed to replace X11 as it was actually used should have had a 1.0 spec before the whole mess was shipped to end users, let alone before users were told that this was the future that they needed to get on already.
