OO methods != C++, in fact C++ is a long way from being an OO language.
Now there is an OO implementation of an X server - in java - look up
weirdX on sourceforge and also "weirdmind" which is a java applet doing
ssh and X

XML is an interchange and storage format not an RPC format. The fact you
can use it for the latter doesn't make it any more sensible than
commuting to work in tank. The X protocol itself is already pretty close
to infintely extensible with X extensions and very good latency wise.
Its perhaps a pity the XML rpc type people didnt learn about X before
