It is helpful for the linux people, and so it frees ressources among the X developers that are free for other problems (and so XFree86 users on different OSes benefit :-). And as soon as such a standard is there, other OSes (BSD, Hurd etc.) are implement this interface (maybe even the linux code in the Hurd case), and so automatically benefit for future drivers. Of course, they are also free to define their own default interface, or to need an per- device X driver.
