Does this page add anything to the protocol definition? We don't have official reference implementations for anything else, so I'm sceptical about adding one here.

I think the point Colin is trying to make is that he wants to stick to xvp as that name has already been exposed, google has indexed it etc etc. Changing the name this late will only cause confusion. So, instead of trying to find some (poor) expansion of xvp, we just leave it at xvp and describe what you can do with it (and maybe include a note about where the name originated for the curious, but in that case state that the uses are more general than the original name implies).

I'm sorry for starting this thread now. I think keeping the existing xvp name is the right answer. Many of the existing extensions are simply named after the product initiially defining the extension. We shouldn't try to rename them now. I merely wanted the descriptive text in the spec of the extension to be generic, leaving "xvp" as the name.

Peter has got my point: there's already been discussion on the Citrix mailing lists, and I made public a self-contained spec for the extension, in a style to match the RealVNC spec: http://www.dur.ac.uk/c.c.dean/xvp/rfb-extensions.html both using the "xvp" name.

Can I suggest we probably have spent enough time on this thread (!) and ask somebody to sign off and apply my most recent patch (from Friday evening)?
