I am very glad that this protocol is going to be documented in an RFC.

I don't expect you to do anything about the following comments. If a future version of this protocol is developed in IETF, I hope they can be addressed:

7.5.6.  ClientCutText

   RFB provides limited support for synchronizing the "cut buffer" of
   selected text between client and server.  This message tells the
   server that the client has new ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) text in its cut
   buffer.  Ends of lines are represented by the newline character (hex
   0a) alone.  No carriage-return (hex 0d) is used.  There is no way to
   transfer text outside the Latin-1 character set.

:-(


I am also hoping that a future version can integrate the SASL authentication framework (RFC 4422).


And finally, language tags can be used for human readable text (RFC 4646).

Section 6 mentions that several versions of RFB have been published.  Would it be possible to add references to the docs in which those versions have been published?  Or is it the intention of this doc to obsolete those earlier docs?
