These standards +continue to exist in the X.Org Foundation releases. +The X.Org Foundation also produces specifications. +Like X Window System Standards, these are documents +which define network protocols, programming interfaces, +and other aspects of the X environment. Under the aegis +of The Open Group, X Window System standards, X.Org Foundation +specifications, and other specifications are the +basis for portions of The Open Group's various CAE +specifications. +.PP +The status of various standards, specifications, and +the software in the X11R7.0 distribution, is explained below. +.SH STANDARDS +The following documents are X Window System standards: +.nf + +X Window System Protocol +X Version 11, Release 7.0 +Robert W.
