    Can someone tell me what the "official" status of the Xt intrinsics is?
    Has it gone before the X Consortium and when might it get blessed?

The Xt Intrinsics have been under review by the MIT X Consortium for
several months.  A final spec is now out to Consortium members, and a
standardization vote will take place very shortly.  The outcome will be
made public soon thereafter.

    I am slightly perturbed by the apparent lack of interest in the X toolkit
    on the net from the X consortium and its cohorts.

Much of the activity has taken place in private Consortium mailing lists
and meetings.
