That's quite cool. Are the included fonts easily configurable? I assume
they're requested using the standard X font naming scheme.

Complete under 1MB including Xlib? How big is Xlib now?
I think it would be nice to keep 100% conformance at first; otherwise
the desire for other windowing systems grows and we're not really
talking about 100% X anymore. The biggest benefit of X is that
a huge bunch of already written programs run.
