Are you planning to duplicate the ListInputDevices wire encoding with
the new QueryInputDevice?  The ordering on the wire is not the same as
in the protocol spec; all the  BUTTONCLASS etc. are in one big list
after the DEVICEINFO's.  Same with the name strings.  Not asking for it
to be changed, just about consistency.

It would be nice if this whole extension was more XCB-friendly though. 
Right now there is no XCB description for some requests because of the
funky lists of variable-sized subclassed structures.  More description
in this mail:
