[I mean to reply to Mouse, but I have a hell of a time with majordomo or this mailing list: I'm subscribed but I don't get the messages! Can someone look at this, please. TIA.]
So to clarify: I'm proposing to convert the rst doc pages to man pages (with for example the utility I cite), and to add the man pages, in man format, to the sources (in order for the sources to not depend on a supplementary external tool) and to install the man pages in /usr/X11R7/man/. The X11 part, for the interface, has changed in 2012, but seems (again: for the interface) stable but the implementation changes and the Linux kernel implementation is still changing frequently and heavily (the drm2/ sources are already significantly behind the Linux sources with not trivial changes; it's, for me, a lost race...).
