Yes, that's what we have discussed doing. Simply create a new version of
the client library which transparently translates between Xlib-like calls
or Win32-like calls (or potentially Epoc-like or Palmos-like calls) and
native nanoserver calls. The nanoserver API can then be extended or
modified without the applications which use the client library needing to
know about it.

No. Currently Microwindows uses a modified Nano-X as it's base, and
those modifications would have to be merged into Nano-X (or nanoserver as
it looks like we'll be calling it) in a clean way, and quite a few changes
would need to be made to the way Microwindows is implemented in order to
support one nanoserver which has multiple "appearances" depending on what
client library you use. That may well be the way things go, but it's
really up to Greg how he chooses to develop Microwindows.
