 There are technical things I don't like about the proposal, but before we get 
to that, I think this mail is seriously lacking in the "Why" department. For 
example: Why the compositing manager should do that? Or: Why do the work of 
adding it to compositing managers when many users don't use them for various 
reasons and then applications presumably need to handle it themselves anyway?
