8. Conclusion
This document provides the protocol-level specification of the minimal
conventions needed to ensure that X Version 11 clients can interoperate
properly. This document specifies interoperability conventions only for the
X Version 11 protocol. Clients should be aware of other protocols that
should be used for better interoperation in the X environment. The reader
is referred to
