We're still talking about Linux, are we?
Snark aside, it's still orthogonal to my question. I wasn't questioning whether it should be done centralized, but why it's supposed to be part of the display server protocol/compositor.

Perhaps not - but seperating window management and input is also not trivial. Note that more complex input methods do somewhat bypass the display server and communicate via dbus instead.
