    Should a KillClient cause an IO error, or is
    this a bug in DEC's (not MIT's) X11R2 server?

KillClient will cause an IO error.

    Is there going to be a better
    way to recover from such errors in future revisions of X?

"Recover" is an undefined term.  Without understanding the requirements for
recovery, and how universal they are, it's not prudent to design a mechanism to
handle it.  I've seen no attempts to establish requirements in this area.
