DEC has presented a formal proposal to the Xt architecture team
to make the latent Object support in R3 Xt official.  That proposal
is currently undergoing review by the architecture team.  Until
such time as it (or a variant, though there are none currently
proposed) is adopted by the Consortium, the only real source
of programming information (outside of the code itself) is DEC's XUI
documentation.
