Motif 1.2 will be based on the X11 R5.  R5 is not expected to be
released until the middle of next year.  Motif 1.2 will be some time after
that (the schedule for Motif 1.2 has not been solidified yet).

Neither!  The R5 Xlib and Intrinsics will be changed to provide 16-bit support.
Motif 1.2 will use these extensions for 16-bit support in the text widget.
These changes will be transparent to text widget's public interfaces.
I am not the one who will be providing the 16-bit support for the text
widget so I can't offer any more details on how it is being implemented.
NOTE: DEC offered a compound string text widget to OSF at the latest sig
meeting, and OSF has taken the offer under review.
