Are you sure about (3)? Unless xterm has been completely rewritten since I looked at the source last time, it does its complete own character cell layout in the client and the addition of new output method would be completely ignored by xterm. It is hard to see, how any backwards compatible extension to the server would give xterm "automatically rudimentary support for bidi". I have seen here recently a lot of confusing discussion about xterm and bidi that makes me wonder wheather we are really talking about the same ancient terminal emulator here. Markus -- Markus G.
