For general information, an X3 committee has been formed to deal with
standards for display management.  This includes windowing controls.
It is chaired by John Butler of Microsoft.  Datamation reports that they
are developing a model based on MS/Windows rather than X.WINDOWS or
Sun's NeW(e)s(t) suggestions.  It is not clear how this might related
to 1003 and/or other standards.
