    o Everything on the X tape should be POSIX compliant

That's a nice wish.  Perhaps someday it will come true.  We aren't likely
to do anything until we have compliant systems in house.

    o Having LOGIN or XDM set your DISPLAY variable BEFORE exec-ing your login
      shell

Huh? Xdm does set DISPLAY and other variables before exec-ing the Xsession.
