Actually, my plan is to create a new extension that tracks damage 
"regions" on drawables; sends events when damage occurs and clients can 
fetch the affected region.  Obviously useful for screen relay apps, but 
there are other uses as well.  The key is to make the server track the 
area affected, including inferior windows.

The Render extension already allows this, and Xft exposes it via the
XftRenderString[8,16,32,utf8] routines.  This handles repeating/
non-repeating textures with arbitrary offsets relative to the text itself.
