+Description: A modular display server with a module
+that enables clients to act as modules that communicates
+via interprocess communication rather than being loaded
+into the display server.

+Implementations: none?

+@noindent
+Advantages:

+@itemize @bullet{}
+@item
+the modular microserver architecture seem to provide
+all of the advantages of the other architecture but
+none of the disadvantages. However, modules can still
+crash and bring down the display server, but the idea
+is to not load unstable modules but let the be servers.
+Therefore exo-diplay server are slightly more robust.
