All the major toolkits (GTK+, Qt, WxWidgets, any others?) *ALREADY* support a remote rendering protocol that works with Wayland: X11. Via either Xlib or XCB.
Note that the situation of multiple /libraries/ for remote rendering *already* exists today for X11 without Wayland. Note further that several toolkits (GTK+ and Qt) *already* supported multiple rendering outputs (framebuffer, X11), and even multiple *remote* output protocols (X11, HTML5 in at least the case of GTK+) prior to Wayland and the sky did not fall in.

I was sort of assuming that the intent was to eventually deprecate X11, and that all the damning of X11 for horrible remote performance meant that it wasn't a suitable remoting protocol.
