I think a big part of Wayland's limitations is in its protocol, and are "by design". Getting Wayland to have feature-parity with X would require extending the protocol, and then implementing those extensions in both compositors and clients. Because major Wayland compositor projects are unlikely to want to adopt or maintain such extensions, getting client applications to support them would also be a tough sell.
