SYNOPSIS
The major goal of the X Consortium is to promote cooperation within the
computer industry in the creation of standard software interfaces at all
layers in the X Window System environment. The status of various
standards, and the software in the X11R6 distribution, is explained below.

NON STANDARDS
The X11R6 distribution contains sample implementations, not reference
implementations. Although much of the code is believed to be correct, the
code should be assumed to be in error wherever it conflicts with the
specification.
The only X Consortium standards are the ones listed above. No other
documents, include files, or software in X11R6 carry special status within
the X Consortium. For example, none of the following are standards:
internal interfaces of the sample server; the MIT-SHM extension; the Athena
Widget Set; the Xmu library; the Xau library; the RGB database; the fonts
distributed with X11R6; the applications distributed with X11R6; the
include files <X11/XWDFile.h>, <X11/Xfuncproto.h>, <X11/Xfuncs.h>,
<X11/Xosdefs.h>, <X11/Xos.h>, and <X11/Xthreads.h>; the bitmap files in
<X11/bitmaps>.
The following are works in progress within the X Consortium, and are
neither standards nor draft standards: Fresco; Low Bandwidth X; X Keyboard
Extension; Record Extension.
