I'm still awaiting any solid arguments against x11-proto, and they had
best be expedited (read below for why).
I don't dislike x11-proto, x11-headers is just a little more descriptive
from the perspective of an ignorant user. More informed users know that
X is the actual protocol, so x11-proto could read to them as "protocol
protocols", or "protocols of a protocol". Besides, we have category
metadata anyway.
