+Command: enumerate-keyboards
+ List available keyboards
+
+Required header: Client ID
+ Your ID, provided by `ID assignment`
+ in response to `Command: assign-id`
+
+Instructions: This message must be consumed by the first server
+ that receives it and implements support for it,
+ and then send out a `Command: keyboard-enumeration`
+ populated with the keyboard it provide as named
+ in the `Keyboard` header for protocols such as
+ `Command: key-sent`
+
+Purpose: Make it possible for clients to list all available keyboards
+ so that can be configured individually

+Required header: To
+ The ID received under `Client ID` in the

+ message to be broadcasted
+
+Required header: Length
+ Length of the message
+
+Message: New line separated list of available keyboards
+
+Instructions: All keyboard servers should listen for this message
+ and append all keyboards it implement to the message
+ once recieved
+
+Purpose: Make it possible for clients to list all available keyboards

+Command: set-keyboard-leds
+ Activate and deactivate LED:s on a keyboard
+
+Required header: Active
+ LED:s that should be turned on.
+ If a LED is listed here but not in `Mask` that LED
+ should be turned on if it is off, and turned off
+ if it is on.
+ The value is a single blank space separated list of LED:s:
+ num) Num lock
+ caps) Caps lock
+ scroll) Scroll lock
+ compose) Compose
+ Unsupported LED:s should be silently ignored.
+
+Required header: Mask
+ LED:s listed here that do not appear in `Active`
+ should be turned off.
+ The value of this header follows the same rules
+ as for `Active`.
+
+Optional header: Keyboard
+ A string that identifies the keyboard that should be
+ affected. If omitted all keyboard are affected.
+
+Purpose: Enable keyboard layout servers to activate and deactive
+ LED:s on the keyboard to indicate active locks
+
+Compulsivity: optional

+Command: get-keyboard-leds
+ List exisiting LED:s on a keyboard and their state
+
+Required header: Client ID
+ Your ID, provided by `ID assignment`
+ in response to `Command: assign-id`
+
+Required header: Keyboard
+ A string that identifies the keyboard that should be
+ affected.
+
+Response: The server implementing support for
+ `Command: get-keyboard-leds` for the keyboard indicated
+ by `Keyboard` should send a message back to the client
+ indicated by `Client ID` (using the `To` header) with
+ the headers:
+ Active: list of currently turned on LED:s
+ Present: list of LED:s that the server believes
+ to be present on the keyboards
+ Both of these headers followes the rules of the
+ `Active` header under `Command: set-keyboard-leds`
+
+Purpose: Enable keyboard layout servers to automatically
+ set active locks when the server starts based on
+ currently active LED:s
+
+Compulsivity: recommended, required if you implement support for
+ `Command: set-keyboard-leds`. If you do not support
+ this protocol servers and clients and stall when
+ they try to get the active LED:s
