I believe this is a dream hedged by quite a few, as evidenced by 
Jean-Philippe's enthusiastic response.

Your idea to leverage Wayland for this purpose is very cool!

Closely related, some years ago, Daniel Collins implemented an Xpra 
client for Genode. Although it has remained at a prototype stage [2], 
the code is accompanied with nicely entertaining documentation [3] 
(practical experiences, discussing X-isms, various ideas).

Thanks for sharing this teasing preview, which definitely wets the appetite!

Cheers
