Hmm..

I suppose this is simply a premature announcement.  The timeline
which X Consortium people have announced for releasing X11R5
is "sometime after global warming has been achieved".  People have
been assuming this meant "fall '91".

One of the features in R5 will be better support for foriegn languages.
Which jives with the above announcement.

Another feature is "drag and drop" -- meaning the ability to drag
things around on the screen (selected text, icons, etc) and drop
them into windows & etc.
