Here you go. This is Gmail interface screenshot, but it appears on
some other sites as well. Reasons why it does seem to be not connected
to sites itself, but rather to some

I would like to give a talk called "runit & ignite - a suckless init
system?", but I'm asking whether there is interest first since I noticed

You make a point.
xprop prints information in format PROPERTY(STRING) = "escaped string",
which causes problem with repeated Ctrl-F: any non-ascii turns into
\ooo\ooo, this later turns into \\ooo\\ooo, and so on. To de-escape
string, printf(1) is used, getting information from xargs -0; without -0
xargs will try to
I won't be at the con, but I think init is something worth talking about
and I am interested in hearing about runit at least.
Greetings.

But anywhere with xargs installed probably has xargs -0
functionality (is there even an alternative implementation?) Other
implementations of echo are more likely, so conservatism makes sense
there.
Let's face it: xargs default behaviour is not well-defined. It would
probably work with xprop output, where quotes are escaped, but it's
better not to risk. Also, we probably want to keep occasional spaces
on their places.
I believe that xargs implementation that doesn't implement -0 is unheard of.
