X is not “network transparent” for any practical definition. Most modern applications don’t use X render commands to draw, so you will get shitload of bitmaps moved over the network, which will result in really bad performance.

Wayland just realized that remoting is not an operation that has to be integrated into the protocol. It can be done by third-party applications better through proper compression techniques.
