There's some Web-based magazine that has more details, but I've lost the
URL to it.  More details are/were probably being disclosed at the
X Conference, whenever than is/was.

Basically, the X Consortium is concentrating more on multimedia and WWW
application support, like handling the minutiae necessary to securely
run an X client from another machine, which will come under the label
"Broadway".  There's a tiny bit more on this at
http://www.x.org/consortium/broadway.html and it looks as though there'll
be a lot more at the X conference (last 4 talks on Tuesday)

I kinda doubt they'll stop developing X, but the afore-mentioned
magazine article article made it sound as though they were renaming it...
