The latter. DPS will be available as an X extension. The PostScript
rendering will be done in the context of the X server.

There is also a client side library portion of the product. They
include mechanisms to encode the PostScript stream in binary so
that it does not have to have lexical analysis done on the server
side. You will have to wait to get details.
