But isn't this FAQ atrocious? It just boasts about how good xprint
is from a technical point of view. But when it comes to explaining
things like ddx, it does not go beyond expanding the acronyms, as in
Q: What does "DDX" mean ?
A: "DDX" is a short term for "Device Dependent X" - the
device-specific layer of a Xserver ("DIX"(="Device
Independent X") is the counterpart).
What sense am I, a user, supposed to make of this?
Open Source without documentation is even worse than closed source.
