I think that's probably the right design.

I'd like to think this belongs in the XInput extension.  There are other 
changes which we can add to that extension at the same time and rev the 
protocol version.  Coding up backward-compatibility stuff will also be 
necessary; take a look at how XFixes manages that (client sends its 
version number, X server ensures protocol is compatible with that version).
