My understanding of X is that it does not proscribe support for any transport
protocol that provides a reliable byte stream service.  I think it would neat
if LAT were a supported transport protocol, then an X terminal could easily
present itself to a host as both an X server and a dumb terminal.  I think
terminal emulators run locally would outperform emulators running as clients
on a remote host.
