The real documentation needs to be written when the package works; this is debug stuff.
TODO AND QUESTIONS
Requestor
Proof read
Ask Chris for proof read
Think how to hide X ishness for tioga
What about nested callbacks ?
Should we have a mode where properties may stay on the server ?
Owner

ShortCutting ought be done before data is formatted for Xl.ChangeProp ....
PROBLEMS
General
There ought to be a reference implementation against which to test my stuff whether it works.
Definition of LENGTH target is not very useful.
INCR protocol requires a minimum length field which is quite useless.
Sun tool set
Uses a whole list of private targets
Owner doesn't support TEXT target
Owner doesn't support TIMESTAMP target
Owner doesn't support MULTIPLE target
Even worse: Owner on MULTIPLE target delets property instead of SelectionNotify with refuse or nulling out all the fields.
Requestor uses multiple RequesSelections instead of multiple target
MIT
xclipboard returns 0 on TIMESTAMP target
Handy templates for testing
