If it is done this way, how do you plan to deal with 2-button mice?
Would 3-button emulation be included as an option, or would the X server
still do that?  How would the 2 buttons be mapped?  What about a mouse
that has more than three buttons (I don't know if the mousesytems protocol
supports more than three or not).

I agree with this.
