I'm writing some middleware that sits between a Wayland compositor and some of its clients, and I would like to know if it might encounter an interface that has an event and a request with the same name. I think you've answered that it's not a good idea for a protocol author to do that, but it also sounds like it's a possibility that someone could do it anyway because there's no direct rule against it. So maybe I should take the necessary precautions. Thanks, Jonathan
