+
+<para>When an X client connects to an X server, it receives a fixed range of
+resource IDs to use to identify the client's resources inside the X
+server.  Xlib hands these out sequentially as needed.  When it
+overruns the end of the range, an IDChoice protocol error results.
+Long running clients, or clients that use resource IDs at a rapid
+rate, may encounter this circumstance.  When it happens, there are
+usually many resource IDs available, but Xlib doesn't know about them.</para>
+
+<para>One approach to solving this problem would be to have Xlib notice when
+a resource is freed and recycle its ID for future use.  This strategy
+runs into difficulties because sometimes freeing one resource causes
+others to be freed (for example, when a window is destroyed, so are
+its children).  To do a complete job, Xlib would have to maintain a
+large amount of state that currently resides only in the server (the
+entire window tree in the above example).  Even if a less
+comprehensive strategy was adopted, such as recycling only those IDs
+that Xlib can identify without maintaining additional state, the
+additional bookkeeping at resource creation and destruction time
+would likely introduce unacceptable overhead.</para>
+
+<para>To avoid the problems listed above, the server's complete knowledge of
+all resource IDs in use by a client is leveraged.  This extension
+provides two ways for Xlib to query the server for available resource
+IDs.  Xlib can use these extension requests behind the scenes when it has
+exhausted its current pool of resource IDs.</para>

+
+<para>If supplied, the <parameter>client_major_version</parameter> and
+<parameter>client_minor_version</parameter> indicate what version of
+the protocol the client wants the server to implement.  The server version
+numbers returned indicate the protocol this extension actually supports.  This
+might not equal the version sent by the client.  An implementation can
+(but need not) support more than one version simultaneously.  The
+<parameter>server_major_version</parameter> and the <parameter>server_minor_version</parameter> are a
+mechanism to support future revisions of the XC-MISC protocol
+which may be necessary.  In general, the major version would increment
+for incompatible changes, and the minor version would increment for
+small, upward-compatible changes.  Servers that support the protocol
+defined in this document will return a
+<parameter>server_major_version</parameter> of one (1), and a
+<parameter>server_minor_version</parameter> of one (1).</para>
