Why do we need an extension protocol for Wayland to add stuff to screen casts? If you want to add watermarks, use a video editor on the output file. If you want to add additional stuff on top of a live stream, use something with a programmable pipeline that can add effects to the stream coming from the compositor. Why do we need negotiation, or user interation, or exchange of metadata for this stuff?
