-This specifies a protocol between IM library and IM (Input Method) Server for internationalized text input, which is indepedent from any specific language, any specific input method and the transport layer used in communication between the IM library and the IM Server, and uses a client-server model. This protocol allows user to use his/her favorite method for all applications within the stand-along distrubuted environment.

-The internationalization in the
-X Window System
-Version 11, Release 5 (X11R5) provides a common API which application
-developers can use to create portable internationalized programs and to
-adapt them to the requirements of different native languages, local customs,
-and character string encodings (this is called "localization").
-As one of its internationalization mechanisms X11R5 has defined a functional
-interface for internationalized text input, called XIM (X Input Method).
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-When a client-server model is used with an IM (Input Method) implementation,
-a protocol must be established between the client and the server.
-However, the protocol used to interface Input Method Servers (IM Servers)
-with the Input Method libraries (IM libraries) to which applications are
-linked was not addressed in X11R5.
-This led application developers to depend on vendor-specific input methods,
-decreased the user's choice of available input methods, and made it more
-difficult for developers to create portable applications. This paper describes
-the Input Method Protocol developed for X11R6 to resolve the above problems
-and to address the requirements of existing and future input methods.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-The Input Method Protocol is independent from the transport layer used in
-communication between the IM library and the IM Server.
-Thus, the input method protocol can be built on any inter-process
-communication mechanism, such as TCP/IP or the X protocol.
-</para>
-<para>
-In addition, the protocol provides for future extensions such as differing
-input model types.

-Text input is much more simple for some languages than
-others. English, for instance, uses an alphabet of a manageable size,
-and input consists of pressing the corresponding key on a keyboard,
-perhaps in combination with a shift key for capital letters or special
-characters.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-Some languages have larger alphabets, or modifiers such as accents,
-which require the addition of special key combinations in order to enter
-text. These input methods may require "dead-keys" or "compose-keys"
-which, when followed by different combinations of key strokes,
-generate different characters.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-Text input for ideographic languages is much less simple. In these
-languages, characters represent actual objects rather than phonetic
-sounds used in pronouncing a word, and the number of characters
-in these languages may continue to grow. In Japanese, for instance, most
-text input methods involve entering characters in a phonetic alphabet,
-after which the input method searches a dictionary for possible
-ideographic equivalents (of which there may be many). The input method then
-presents the candidate characters for the user to choose from.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-In Japanese, either Kana (phonetic symbols) or Roman letters are
-typed and then a region is selected for conversion to Kanji. Several
-Kanji characters may have the same phonetic representation. If that
-is the case with the string entered, a menu of characters is presented
-and the user must choose the appropriate one. If no choice is necessary
-or a preference has been established, the input method does the
-substitution directly.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-These complicated input methods must present state information (Status Area),
-text entry and edit space (Preedit Area), and menu/choice presentations
-(Auxiliary Area). Much of the protocol between the IM library and the IM
-Server involves managing these IM areas.
-Because of the size and complexity of these input methods, and because
-of how widely they vary from one language or locale to another, they are
-usually implemented as separate processes which can serve many client
-processes on the same computer or network.

-When the client connects or disconnects to the IM Server, an open or close
-operation occurs between the client and the IM Server.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-The IM can be specified at the time of XOpenIM() by setting the locale
-of the client and a locale modifier. Since the IM remembers
-the locale at the time of creation XOpenIM() can be called
-multiple times (with the
-setting for the locale and the locale modifier changed) to support
-multiple languages.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-In addition, the supported IM type can be obtained using XGetIMValues().
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-The client usually holds multiple input (text) fields. Xlib provides a
-value type called the "Input Context" (IC) to manage each individual
-input field. An IC can be created by specifying XIM using XCreateIC(),
-and it can be destroyed using XDestroyIC().
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-The IC can specify the type of IM which is supported by XIM for each
-input field, so each input field can handle a different type of IM.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-Most importantly information such as the committed string sent from
-the IM Server to the client, is exchanged based on each IC.
-</para>

-Since each IC corresponds to an input field, the focused input field
-should be announced to the IM Server using XSetICFocus(). (XUnsetICFocus()
-can also be used to change the focus.)

-Existing input methods support either the FrontEnd method, the BackEnd method,
-or both. This protocol specifically supports the BackEnd method as
-the default method, but also supports the FrontEnd method as an optional
-IM Server extension.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-The difference between the FrontEnd and BackEnd methods is in how
-events are delivered to the IM Server. (Fig. 1) <!-- xref -->

-<title>BackEnd Method</title>
-<!-- .XS -->
-<!-- (SN BackEnd Method -->
-<!-- .XE -->
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-In the BackEnd method, client window input events are always delivered
-to the IM library, which then passes them to the IM Server. Events are
-handled serially in the order delivered, and therefore there is no
-synchronization problem between the IM library and the IM Server.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-Using this method, the IM library forwards all KeyPress and KeyRelease
-events to the IM Server (as required by the Event Flow Control model
-described in
-<link linkend="event_flow_control">
-<xref linkend="event_flow_control"></xref></link>)

-In the FrontEnd method, client window input events are delivered by the
-X server directly to both the IM Server and the IM library. Therefore this
-method provides much better interactive performance while preediting
-(particularly in cases such as when the IM Server is running locally on
-the user's workstation and the client application is running on another
-workstation over a relatively slow network).
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-However, the FrontEnd model may have synchronization problems between
-the key events handled in the IM Server and other events handled in the
-client, and these problems could possibly cause the loss or duplication
-of key events. For this reason, the BackEnd method is the core method
-supported, and the FrontEnd method is made available as an extension for
-performance purposes. (Refer to
-<link linkend="common_extensions">
-<xref linkend="common_extensions"></xref></link>

-<!-- .LP -->
-This protocol supports two event flow models for communication between the
-IM library and the IM Server (Static and Dynamic).
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-Static Event Flow requires that input events always be sent to the IM
-Server from the client.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-Dynamic Event Flow, however, requires only that those input events which
-need to be processed (converted) be sent to the IM Server from the client.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-For instance, in the case of inputing a combination of ASCII characters
-and Chinese characters, ASCII characters do not need to be processed in
-the IM Server, so their key events do not have to be sent to the IM
-Server. On the other hand, key events necessary for composing Chinese
-characters must be sent to the IM Server.
-</para>
-<para>
-<!-- .LP -->
-Thus, by adopting the Dynamic Event Flow, the number of requests among the
-X Server, the client, and the IM Server is significantly reduced, and the
-number of context switches is also reduced, resulting in improved performance.
-The IM Server can send
-<function>XIM_REGISTER_TRIGGERKEYS </function>

-</para>
-
-<para>
-X Events are forwarded by
-<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function> message.
-This message can be operated both synchronously and asynchronously.

-Protocol flow of BackEnd model
-</para>
-
-<para>
-With BackEnd method, the protocol flow can be classified into two
-methods in terms of synchronization, depending on the synchronous-eventmask
-of <function>XIM_SET_EVENT_MASK</function>
-message. One can be called on-demand-synchronous method and another
-can be called as full-synchronous method.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-In on-demand-synchronous method, the IM library always receives
-<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function>
-or
-<function>XIM_COMMIT</function>
-message as a synchronous request. Also, the IM Server needs to synchronously
-process the correspondent reply from the IM library and the following
-<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function>
-message sent from the IM library when any of the event causes the IM Server
-to send
-<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function>
-or
-<function>XIM_COMMIT</function>
-message to the IM library, so that the input service is consistent. If the
-IM library gets the control back from the application after receiving the
-synchronous request, the IM library replies for the synchronous request before
-processing any of the events. In this time, the IM Server blocks
-<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function>
-message which is sent by the IM library, and handles it after receiving the
-reply. However, the IM Server handles the other protocols at any time.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-In full-synchronous method, the IM library always sends
-<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function>
-message to the IM Server as a synchronous request. Therefore, the reply to it
-from the IM Server will be put between the
-<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function> message and its
-<function>XIM_SYNC_REPLY</function> message. In case of sending
-<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function> or
-<function>XIM_COMMIT</function>
-message, the IM Server should set the synchronous flag off. Because the
-synchronization can be done by the following
-<function>XIM_SYNC_REPLY</function> message.

-<title>Implementation Tips</title>
-<para>
-(1) FrontEnd Method
-</para>
-
-<para>
-FrontEnd method is recognized as a performance acceleration by the
-trade off of the variety of the reliability.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-In order to use the FrontEnd method, the IM library must query the IM
-Server to see if the FrontEnd extension is available. The query is
-made by using the
-<function>XIM_QUERY_EXTENSION</function>
-message. The IM Server may send
-<function>XIM_EXT_SET_EVENT_MASK</function>
-message with intercept-event-mask, forward-event-mask, and
-synchronous-event-mask values set after replying
-<function>XIM_QUERY_EXTENSION_REPLY</function>
-message.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-FrontEnd method can be implemented in a couple of ways depending on
-how the IM Server utilize
-<function>XIM_EXT_SET_EVENT_MASK</function>
-message.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-One approach is to update both of the input mask and the filter-event-mask
-depending on the preeidting state. The sample protocol sequence using the
-static event flow is as follows:
-</para>
-
-<mediaobject id="staticflow">
- <imageobject>
- <imagedata scale="75" format="SVG" fileref="staticflow.svg"/>
- </imageobject>
- <caption>The flow of events</caption>
-</mediaobject>
-
-<para>
-To pursuit a maximum performance regardless of the preediting mode,
-the IM Server may use the dynamic event flow with the following
-sample protocol sequence.
-</para>
-
-<mediaobject id="dynamicflow">
- <imageobject>
- <imagedata scale="75" format="SVG" fileref="dynamicflow.svg"/>
- </imageobject>
- <caption>The flow of events</caption>
-</mediaobject>
-
-<para>
-This method can reduce the XIM protocol traffic dramatically
-by updating intercept-event-mask and select-event-mask accordingly.
-The tradeoff of this performance improvement is that the key
-events may be lost or disordered in some particular situation, such as
-when the user types the keyboard in following sequence really fast:
-</para>
-
-<para>
-&lt;preediting on key&gt;"some strings"&lt;preediting off
-key&gt;"another string"
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Since this method requires the input mask updates to the both the IM Server
-and Xlib when turning on and off the preediting, and there is a time lag
-till the requests take effect when two client issues the input mask updates
-simultaneously.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Another approach of the FrontEnd method is to update the filter-event-mask
-depending on the preediting state and not to update the input mask.
-The IM Server must register both of the preediting on key list and off key
-list by
-<function>XIM_REGISTER_TRIGGERKEYS</function>
-message.
-In this method, Both the IM Server and the IM client select the same
-events on the same client's window, so that the events are delivered
-to both of the IM Server and the client. The preediting on and off
-states are expressed by whether the key events are filtered or not.
-The sample protocol sequence are as follows:
-</para>
-
-<para>
-&lt;&lt;Using static event flow&gt;&gt;
-</para>
-
-<mediaobject id="staticflowsampleseq">
- <imageobject>
- <imagedata scale="75" format="SVG" fileref="staticflowsampleseq.svg"/>
- </imageobject>
- <caption>The flow of events</caption>
-</mediaobject>
-
-<para>
-&lt;&lt;Using the dynamic event flow&gt;&gt;
-</para>
-
-<mediaobject id="dynamicflowsampleseq">
- <imageobject>
- <imagedata scale="75" format="SVG" fileref="dynamicflowsampleseq.svg"/>
- </imageobject>
- <caption>The flow of events</caption>
-</mediaobject>
-
-<para>
-This method does not have the problem of the time lag when going across
-the preediting on and off mode, however, the amount of the performance
-acceleration is not as good as the method described above.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-In general, the FrontEnd method requires some synchronization to some
-of the X protocols, such as the ChangeWindowAttribute protocol for the
-event mask change or the GrabKey protocol, since it relies on the X's
-principal event dispatching mechanism. Any X protocol bindings do not
-consider the synchronization might cause some mis-synchronization
-between the IM clients and the IM Server.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-(2) Transport Layer
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The Xlib XIM implementation is layered into three functions, a protocol
-layer, an interface layer and a transport layer. The purpose of this
-layering is to make the protocol independent of transport implementation.
-Each function of these layers are:
-</para>
-
-<variablelist>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>The protocol layer</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
-implements overall function of XIM and calls the interface layer
-functions when it needs to communicate to IM Server.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>The interface layer</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
-separates the implementation of the transport layer from the protocol
-layer, in other words, it provides implementation independent hook for
-the transport layer functions.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>The transport layer</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
-handles actual data communication with IM Server. It is done by a set
-of several functions named transporters.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-</variablelist>
-
-<para>
-The interface layer and the transport layer make various communication
-channels usable such as X Protocol, TCP/IP, DECnet or STREAM.
-The following is a sample implementation for the transporter using
-the X connection.
-Refer to "xtrans" for the transporter using Socket Transport. <!-- xref ?-->
-</para>
-
-<para>
-At the beginning of the X Transport connection for the XIM transport
-mechanism, two different windows must be created either in an Xlib XIM
-or in an IM Server, with which the Xlib and the IM Server exchange the
-XIM transports by using the ClientMessage events and Window Properties.
-In the following, the window created by the Xlib is referred as the
-"client communication window", and on the other hand, the window created
-by the IM Server is referred as the "IMS communication window".
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Connection
-</para>
-
-<para>
-In order to establish a connection, a communication window is created.
-A ClientMessage in the following event's format is sent to the owner
-window of XIM_SERVER selection, which the IM Server has created.

+This specifies a protocol between IM library and IM (Input Method) Server for internationalized text input, which is indepedent from any specific language, any specific input method and the transport layer used in communication between the IM library and the IM Server, and uses a client-server model. This protocol allows user to use his/her favorite method for all applications within the stand-along distrubuted environment.

+The internationalization in the
+X Window System
+Version 11, Release 5 (X11R5) provides a common API which application
+developers can use to create portable internationalized programs and to
+adapt them to the requirements of different native languages, local customs,
+and character string encodings (this is called "localization").
+As one of its internationalization mechanisms X11R5 has defined a functional
+interface for internationalized text input, called XIM (X Input Method).
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+When a client-server model is used with an IM (Input Method) implementation,
+a protocol must be established between the client and the server.
+However, the protocol used to interface Input Method Servers (IM Servers)
+with the Input Method libraries (IM libraries) to which applications are
+linked was not addressed in X11R5.
+This led application developers to depend on vendor-specific input methods,
+decreased the user's choice of available input methods, and made it more
+difficult for developers to create portable applications. This paper describes
+the Input Method Protocol developed for X11R6 to resolve the above problems
+and to address the requirements of existing and future input methods.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+The Input Method Protocol is independent from the transport layer used in
+communication between the IM library and the IM Server.
+Thus, the input method protocol can be built on any inter-process
+communication mechanism, such as TCP/IP or the X protocol.
+</para>
+<para>
+In addition, the protocol provides for future extensions such as differing
+input model types.

+Text input is much more simple for some languages than
+others. English, for instance, uses an alphabet of a manageable size,
+and input consists of pressing the corresponding key on a keyboard,
+perhaps in combination with a shift key for capital letters or special
+characters.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+Some languages have larger alphabets, or modifiers such as accents,
+which require the addition of special key combinations in order to enter
+text. These input methods may require "dead-keys" or "compose-keys"
+which, when followed by different combinations of key strokes,
+generate different characters.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+Text input for ideographic languages is much less simple. In these
+languages, characters represent actual objects rather than phonetic
+sounds used in pronouncing a word, and the number of characters
+in these languages may continue to grow. In Japanese, for instance, most
+text input methods involve entering characters in a phonetic alphabet,
+after which the input method searches a dictionary for possible
+ideographic equivalents (of which there may be many). The input method then
+presents the candidate characters for the user to choose from.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+In Japanese, either Kana (phonetic symbols) or Roman letters are
+typed and then a region is selected for conversion to Kanji. Several
+Kanji characters may have the same phonetic representation. If that
+is the case with the string entered, a menu of characters is presented
+and the user must choose the appropriate one. If no choice is necessary
+or a preference has been established, the input method does the
+substitution directly.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+These complicated input methods must present state information (Status Area),
+text entry and edit space (Preedit Area), and menu/choice presentations
+(Auxiliary Area). Much of the protocol between the IM library and the IM
+Server involves managing these IM areas.
+Because of the size and complexity of these input methods, and because
+of how widely they vary from one language or locale to another, they are
+usually implemented as separate processes which can serve many client
+processes on the same computer or network.

+When the client connects or disconnects to the IM Server, an open or close
+operation occurs between the client and the IM Server.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+The IM can be specified at the time of XOpenIM() by setting the locale
+of the client and a locale modifier. Since the IM remembers
+the locale at the time of creation XOpenIM() can be called
+multiple times (with the
+setting for the locale and the locale modifier changed) to support
+multiple languages.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+In addition, the supported IM type can be obtained using XGetIMValues().
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+The client usually holds multiple input (text) fields. Xlib provides a
+value type called the "Input Context" (IC) to manage each individual
+input field. An IC can be created by specifying XIM using XCreateIC(),
+and it can be destroyed using XDestroyIC().
+</para>
+<para>

+The IC can specify the type of IM which is supported by XIM for each
+input field, so each input field can handle a different type of IM.

+Most importantly information such as the committed string sent from
+the IM Server to the client, is exchanged based on each IC.

+should be announced to the IM Server using XSetICFocus(). (XUnsetICFocus()

+Existing input methods support either the FrontEnd method, the BackEnd method,
+or both. This protocol specifically supports the BackEnd method as
+the default method, but also supports the FrontEnd method as an optional
+IM Server extension.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+The difference between the FrontEnd and BackEnd methods is in how
+events are delivered to the IM Server. (Fig. 1) <!-- xref -->

+<title>BackEnd Method</title>
+<!-- .XS -->
+<!-- (SN BackEnd Method -->
+<!-- .XE -->
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+In the BackEnd method, client window input events are always delivered
+to the IM library, which then passes them to the IM Server. Events are
+handled serially in the order delivered, and therefore there is no
+synchronization problem between the IM library and the IM Server.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+Using this method, the IM library forwards all KeyPress and KeyRelease
+events to the IM Server (as required by the Event Flow Control model
+described in
+<link linkend="event_flow_control">
+<xref linkend="event_flow_control"></xref></link>)
+and synchronizes with the IM Server (as described in

+In the FrontEnd method, client window input events are delivered by the
+X server directly to both the IM Server and the IM library. Therefore this
+method provides much better interactive performance while preediting
+(particularly in cases such as when the IM Server is running locally on
+the user's workstation and the client application is running on another
+workstation over a relatively slow network).
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+However, the FrontEnd model may have synchronization problems between
+the key events handled in the IM Server and other events handled in the
+client, and these problems could possibly cause the loss or duplication
+of key events. For this reason, the BackEnd method is the core method
+supported, and the FrontEnd method is made available as an extension for
+performance purposes. (Refer to
+<link linkend="common_extensions">
+<xref linkend="common_extensions"></xref></link>

+<!-- .LP -->
+This protocol supports two event flow models for communication between the
+IM library and the IM Server (Static and Dynamic).
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+Static Event Flow requires that input events always be sent to the IM
+Server from the client.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+Dynamic Event Flow, however, requires only that those input events which
+need to be processed (converted) be sent to the IM Server from the client.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+For instance, in the case of inputing a combination of ASCII characters
+and Chinese characters, ASCII characters do not need to be processed in
+the IM Server, so their key events do not have to be sent to the IM
+Server. On the other hand, key events necessary for composing Chinese
+characters must be sent to the IM Server.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+Thus, by adopting the Dynamic Event Flow, the number of requests among the
+X Server, the client, and the IM Server is significantly reduced, and the
+number of context switches is also reduced, resulting in improved performance.
+The IM Server can send
+<function>XIM_REGISTER_TRIGGERKEYS </function>
+message in order to switch the event flow in the Dynamic Event Flow.

+X Events are forwarded by
+<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function> message.
+This message can be operated both synchronously and asynchronously.

+Protocol flow of BackEnd model

+
+<para>
+With BackEnd method, the protocol flow can be classified into two
+methods in terms of synchronization, depending on the synchronous-eventmask
+of <function>XIM_SET_EVENT_MASK</function>
+message. One can be called on-demand-synchronous method and another
+can be called as full-synchronous method.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In on-demand-synchronous method, the IM library always receives
+<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function>
+or
+<function>XIM_COMMIT</function>
+message as a synchronous request. Also, the IM Server needs to synchronously
+process the correspondent reply from the IM library and the following
+<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function>
+message sent from the IM library when any of the event causes the IM Server
+to send
+<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function>
+or
+<function>XIM_COMMIT</function>
+message to the IM library, so that the input service is consistent. If the
+IM library gets the control back from the application after receiving the
+synchronous request, the IM library replies for the synchronous request before
+processing any of the events. In this time, the IM Server blocks
+<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function>
+message which is sent by the IM library, and handles it after receiving the
+reply. However, the IM Server handles the other protocols at any time.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In full-synchronous method, the IM library always sends
+<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function>
+message to the IM Server as a synchronous request. Therefore, the reply to it
+from the IM Server will be put between the
+<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function> message and its
+<function>XIM_SYNC_REPLY</function> message. In case of sending
+<function>XIM_FORWARD_EVENT</function> or
+<function>XIM_COMMIT</function>
+message, the IM Server should set the synchronous flag off. Because the
+synchronization can be done by the following
+<function>XIM_SYNC_REPLY</function> message.

+<para>
+(1) FrontEnd Method
+</para>
+
+<para>
+FrontEnd method is recognized as a performance acceleration by the
+trade off of the variety of the reliability.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In order to use the FrontEnd method, the IM library must query the IM
+Server to see if the FrontEnd extension is available. The query is
+made by using the
+<function>XIM_QUERY_EXTENSION</function>
+message. The IM Server may send
+<function>XIM_EXT_SET_EVENT_MASK</function>
+message with intercept-event-mask, forward-event-mask, and
+synchronous-event-mask values set after replying
+<function>XIM_QUERY_EXTENSION_REPLY</function>
+message.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+FrontEnd method can be implemented in a couple of ways depending on
+how the IM Server utilize
+<function>XIM_EXT_SET_EVENT_MASK</function>
+message.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+One approach is to update both of the input mask and the filter-event-mask
+depending on the preeidting state. The sample protocol sequence using the
+static event flow is as follows:
+</para>
+
+<mediaobject id="staticflow">
+ <imageobject>
+ <imagedata scale="75" format="SVG" fileref="staticflow.svg"/>
+ </imageobject>
+ <caption>The flow of events</caption>
+</mediaobject>
+
+<para>
+To pursuit a maximum performance regardless of the preediting mode,
+the IM Server may use the dynamic event flow with the following
+sample protocol sequence.
+</para>
+
+<mediaobject id="dynamicflow">
+ <imageobject>
+ <imagedata scale="75" format="SVG" fileref="dynamicflow.svg"/>
+ </imageobject>
+ <caption>The flow of events</caption>
+</mediaobject>
+
+<para>
+This method can reduce the XIM protocol traffic dramatically
+by updating intercept-event-mask and select-event-mask accordingly.
+The tradeoff of this performance improvement is that the key
+events may be lost or disordered in some particular situation, such as
+when the user types the keyboard in following sequence really fast:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+&lt;preediting on key&gt;"some strings"&lt;preediting off
+key&gt;"another string"
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Since this method requires the input mask updates to the both the IM Server
+and Xlib when turning on and off the preediting, and there is a time lag
+till the requests take effect when two client issues the input mask updates
+simultaneously.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Another approach of the FrontEnd method is to update the filter-event-mask
+depending on the preediting state and not to update the input mask.
+The IM Server must register both of the preediting on key list and off key
+list by
+<function>XIM_REGISTER_TRIGGERKEYS</function>
+message.
+In this method, Both the IM Server and the IM client select the same
+events on the same client's window, so that the events are delivered
+to both of the IM Server and the client. The preediting on and off
+states are expressed by whether the key events are filtered or not.
+The sample protocol sequence are as follows:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+&lt;&lt;Using static event flow&gt;&gt;
+</para>
+
+<mediaobject id="staticflowsampleseq">
+ <imageobject>
+ <imagedata scale="75" format="SVG" fileref="staticflowsampleseq.svg"/>
+ </imageobject>
+ <caption>The flow of events</caption>
+</mediaobject>
+
+<para>
+&lt;&lt;Using the dynamic event flow&gt;&gt;
+</para>
+
+<mediaobject id="dynamicflowsampleseq">
+ <imageobject>
+ <imagedata scale="75" format="SVG" fileref="dynamicflowsampleseq.svg"/>
+ </imageobject>
+ <caption>The flow of events</caption>
+</mediaobject>
+
+<para>
+This method does not have the problem of the time lag when going across
+the preediting on and off mode, however, the amount of the performance
+acceleration is not as good as the method described above.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In general, the FrontEnd method requires some synchronization to some
+of the X protocols, such as the ChangeWindowAttribute protocol for the
+event mask change or the GrabKey protocol, since it relies on the X's
+principal event dispatching mechanism. Any X protocol bindings do not
+consider the synchronization might cause some mis-synchronization
+between the IM clients and the IM Server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+(2) Transport Layer
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The Xlib XIM implementation is layered into three functions, a protocol
+layer, an interface layer and a transport layer. The purpose of this
+layering is to make the protocol independent of transport implementation.
+Each function of these layers are:
+</para>
+
+<variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>The protocol layer</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+implements overall function of XIM and calls the interface layer
+functions when it needs to communicate to IM Server.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>The interface layer</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+separates the implementation of the transport layer from the protocol
+layer, in other words, it provides implementation independent hook for
+the transport layer functions.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>The transport layer</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+handles actual data communication with IM Server. It is done by a set
+of several functions named transporters.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+</variablelist>
+
+<para>
+The interface layer and the transport layer make various communication
+channels usable such as X Protocol, TCP/IP, DECnet or STREAM.
+The following is a sample implementation for the transporter using
+the X connection.
+Refer to "xtrans" for the transporter using Socket Transport. <!-- xref ?-->
+</para>
+
+<para>
+At the beginning of the X Transport connection for the XIM transport
+mechanism, two different windows must be created either in an Xlib XIM
+or in an IM Server, with which the Xlib and the IM Server exchange the
+XIM transports by using the ClientMessage events and Window Properties.
+In the following, the window created by the Xlib is referred as the
+"client communication window", and on the other hand, the window created
+by the IM Server is referred as the "IMS communication window".
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Connection
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In order to establish a connection, a communication window is created.
+A ClientMessage in the following event's format is sent to the owner
+window of XIM_SERVER selection, which the IM Server has created.
+</para>
