Well, I wanted to work on something like that for a long time now but never
got the courage to go deep enough in the XFree code to actually start
anything. If you remember well, I once asked a long time ago on this list if
an extension like that was possible / doable...

It is sorely needed by things like Wine to emulate relative mouse grabbing
in DirectInput games :-)

So yes, I fully support this (and am ready to act as a guinea pig / tester
for you if you need one).
