Agreed. I think it should be pretty straightforward:

Client->Server: What features do you support?
Server->Client: These privledged features are available.
Client->Server: I want this feature (nonblocking)
[compositor prompts user to agree]
Server->Client: Yes/no
[compositor enables the use of those protocols for this client]

I can start to write up some XML to describe this formally. We can take
some inspiration from the pointer-constraints protocol and I'll also
rewrite that protocol with this model in mind. Does anyone see anything
missing from this exchange?
