It would be a major achievement if it had been achieved :)

You might have missed it but a short while back there was a huge flamefest because some XMir specific patches were removed from a Xorg driver.

Those patches wouldn't be necessary if XMIr ran on Mir due to Mir doing the actual input/output hardware/driver access.
