Someone should make public a political volition about multi seat, like
petition to Xorg "We want to live as humans".
I have read discussions about multi seat. two anti conditions are
notified allways:
1) multiple X cannot manage hardware resources.
2) _nonstandard_ solution increase costs anyway, even if hardware is cheape=
r.

standard or nonstandard is a public opinition only. At least i do not
know how to ISO commite,ANSI,DIN defines a PC.
