X11 is a much larger system than just the X server. As that web page notes,
this is from the "X11R6 Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual", which
documents the conventions for X clients to communicate with each other, not
the X server itself.

Countless people on forums say that middle-mouse pasting is an X11 feature.
This document seems to confirm that it's an X11 feature:

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Solution:
Middle-mouse pasting would be great as a setting that can be
enabled/disabled by 'xset' on the command line.
Please let me know if this would be simple to implement.
It would not be, because it is not a X server behavior. It is simply
a convention implemented in dozens of toolkits and thousands of
applications, with no centralized control.
All the X server does is tell the client that button 2 was pressed, and
everything after that happens client side.
