Consortium is currently (January 1997) developing and plans
to release soon as an open standard. A prime goal is to be
more bandwidth-efficient and easier to develop for (and to
port) than the X Window System, which has been widely
described as over-sized, over-featured, over-engineered and
incredibly over-complicated.
