Hi Andrew, XCB is structured as a "bulk" interface. Clients receive a sequence (actually sequences) of messages, where the messages are in the union (ditto for results). I understood the interesting case to be if a client receives a sequence of callbacks of intermixed known and known type. I would expect clients to ignore unknown messages, but I guess the point at issue is whether a sequence containing unexpected union records can even be decoded. Can it?
