Those are the composite functions of the Render extension, not the
Composite extension.
Render extension does things like alpha-blending/composited rendering.
The Composite extension simply puts all windows into off-screen pixmaps
and lets an external program manage how to draw them, whether it be
through snazzy 3-D effects like compiz, simple 2-D scaling like GNOME
magnifier for accessibility, or even just taking advantage of the
offscreen-pixmaps as finally working backing store to prevent repaints
on window moves like xcompmgr.
