... but of course you're right that if it allows any pointer to be

passed (provided it's possible to say what it is), then the same

extension should be usable for passing "the X window" or whatever it

is you have.  Though that still complicates the social problem of how

to know what extensions are needed or supported, if some extensions

only work some of the time.
