Network transparency kicks ass. It's certainly a killer feature for X.
but there are things that could be better.... Like session management. With Windows and RDP/etc or VNC I can disconnect and reconnect again later without interruption. That's something you cannot do with X (at least the way it is now).
SPICE kicks ass. As far as I can tell it's much faster then even ICA, which blows X and VNC out of the water. I wonder if there was someway to integrate Spice into Wayland.
Like maybe have a Gallium driver that outputs to Spice instead of to VGA out or something crazy like that.

SPICE and Wayland are developed/owned/whatever by the same company RedHat so it should in theory be possible for the developers to talk to each other, right ? ;-)

Actually the main Wayland developer is employed by Intel now.

SPICE does look pretty efficient network wise. Although I think it is currently pretty tied to kvm/qemu, but I'm not sure.

It is tied to qemu (not really to kvm, although we don't run it on anything else), but should be possible to make run without qemu - although it would require some changes to the design (right now it is built on the trio guest-host-client, if you remove the host the structure changes a little). bandwidth efficiency wise it should be the same.
