+    <description summary="control behavior when display idles">
+      This interface permits inhibiting the idle behavior such as screen
+      blanking, locking, and screensaving.  The client binds the idle manager
+      globally, then creates idle-inhibitor objects for each surface.
+
+      Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
+      backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes
+      may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump.
+      Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in
+      the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version.
+      Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the
+      version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the
+      interface version number is reset.

+    <description summary="context object for inhibiting idle behavior">
+      An idle inhibitor prevents the output that the associated surface is
+      visible on from being set to a state where it is not visually usable due
+      to lack of user interaction (e.g. blanked, dimmed, locked, set to power
+      save, etc.)  Any screensaver processes are also blocked from displaying.
+
+      If the surface is destroyed, unmapped, becomes occluded, loses
+      visibility, or otherwise becomes not visually relevant for the user, the
+      idle inhibitor will not be honored by the compositor; if the surface
+      subsequently regains visibility the inhibitor takes effect once again.
+      Likewise, the inhibitor isn't honored if the system was already idled at
+      the time the inhibitor was established, although if the system later
+      de-idles and re-idles the inhibitor will take effect.
