  <description summary="Protocol to describe output regions">
    This protocol aims at describing outputs in a way which is more in line
    with the concept of an output on desktop oriented systems.

    Some information are more specific to the concept of an output for
    a desktop oriented system and may not make sense in other applications,
    such as IVI systems for example.

    Typically, the global compositor space on a desktop system is made of
    a contiguous or overlapping set of rectangular regions.

    Some of the information provided in this protocol might be identical
    to their counterparts already available from wl_output, in which case
    the information provided by this protocol should be preferred to their
    equivalent in wl_output. The goal is to move the desktop specific
    concepts (such as output location within the global compositor space,
    the connector name and types, etc.) out of the core wl_output protocol.

    Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
    backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible
    changes may be added together with the corresponding interface
    version bump.
    Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version
    number in the protocol and interface names and resetting the
    interface version. Once the protocol is to be declared stable,
    the 'z' prefix and the version number in the protocol and
    interface names are removed and the interface version number is
    reset.

      For objects version 3 onwards, after all xdg_output properties have been
      sent (when the object is created and when properties are updated), a
      wl_output.done event is sent. This allows changes to the output
      properties to be seen as atomic, even if they happen via multiple events.

    <event name="logical_position">
      <description summary="position of the output within the global compositor space">
	The position event describes the location of the wl_output within

	The logical_position event is sent after creating an xdg_output
	(see xdg_output_manager.get_xdg_output) and whenever the location
	of the output changes within the global compositor space.

    <event name="logical_size">
      <description summary="size of the output in the global compositor space">
	The logical_size event describes the size of the output in the
	global compositor space.

	For example, a surface without any buffer scale, transformation
	nor rotation set, with the size matching the logical_size will
	have the same size as the corresponding output when displayed.

	Most regular Wayland clients should not pay attention to the
	logical size and would rather rely on xdg_shell interfaces.

	Some clients such as Xwayland, however, need this to configure
	their surfaces in the global compositor space as the compositor
	may apply a different scale from what is advertised by the output
	scaling property (to achieve fractional scaling, for example).

	For example, for a wl_output mode 3840×2160 and a scale factor 2:

	- A compositor not scaling the surface buffers will advertise a
	  logical size of 3840×2160,

	- A compositor automatically scaling the surface buffers will
	  advertise a logical size of 1920×1080,

	- A compositor using a fractional scale of 1.5 will advertise a
	  logical size of 2560×1440.

	For example, for a wl_output mode 1920×1080 and a 90 degree rotation,
	the compositor will advertise a logical size of 1080x1920.

	The logical_size event is sent after creating an xdg_output
	(see xdg_output_manager.get_xdg_output) and whenever the logical
	size of the output changes, either as a result of a change in the
	applied scale or because of a change in the corresponding output
	mode(see wl_output.mode) or transform (see wl_output.transform).

    <event name="done">
      <description summary="all information about the output have been sent">
	This event is sent after all other properties of an xdg_output
	have been sent.

	This allows changes to the xdg_output properties to be seen as
	atomic, even if they happen via multiple events.

	For objects version 3 onwards, this event is deprecated. Compositors
	are not required to send it anymore and must send wl_output.done
	instead.

    <!-- Version 2 additions -->

    <event name="name" since="2">
      <description summary="name of this output">
	Many compositors will assign names to their outputs, show them to the
	user, allow them to be configured by name, etc. The client may wish to
	know this name as well to offer the user similar behaviors.

	The naming convention is compositor defined, but limited to
	alphanumeric characters and dashes (-). Each name is unique among all
	wl_output globals, but if a wl_output global is destroyed the same name
	may be reused later. The names will also remain consistent across
	sessions with the same hardware and software configuration.

	Examples of names include 'HDMI-A-1', 'WL-1', 'X11-1', etc. However, do
	not assume that the name is a reflection of an underlying DRM
	connector, X11 connection, etc.

	The name event is sent after creating an xdg_output (see
	xdg_output_manager.get_xdg_output). This event is only sent once per
	xdg_output, and the name does not change over the lifetime of the
	wl_output global.

    <event name="description" since="2">
      <description summary="human-readable description of this output">
	Many compositors can produce human-readable descriptions of their
	outputs.  The client may wish to know this description as well, to
	communicate the user for various purposes.

	The description is a UTF-8 string with no convention defined for its
	contents. Examples might include 'Foocorp 11" Display' or 'Virtual X11
	output via :1'.

	The description event is sent after creating an xdg_output (see
	xdg_output_manager.get_xdg_output) and whenever the description
	changes. The description is optional, and may not be sent at all.

	For objects of version 2 and lower, this event is only sent once per
	xdg_output, and the description does not change over the lifetime of
	the wl_output global.
