It's really frustrating reading all of the misunderstandings regarding Wayland and remote access.

The rendering modes modern applications use (SHM and dri2) are already just swapping image buffers around. The applications(the toolkits mostly) are doing all the rendering. So you if you are accessing X11 remotely you are _already_ sending image buffers over the network. Wayland can will be no worse at that and can potentially be much better.
