In spite of the fact that "Well-Educated" [1] doesn't seem to be so
and nospam.net doesn't seem to be "no-spam," [2] here's an 
answer:

    X is not the first window system written for Unix, but it is the 
    most popular. X's original development team had worked on 
    another window system before writing X. That system's name
    was ``W'' (for ``Window''). X is just the next letter in the 
    Roman alphabet.

    X can be called ``X'', ``X Window System'', ``X11'', and
    other terms. Calling X11 ``X Windows'' can offend some
    people; see X(1) for a bit more insight on this.
                                    ---FreeBSD Handbook, Ch. 5.2.1[3]

Now I could be wrong about [1] and [2] but [3] seems spot
on.  Also, a recent thread on one of the lists addressed this 
issue.  So, Jacques accidentally touched the "s" key, is it really
worth complaining about?
