The free desktop specifications (www.freedesktop.org).  The X server 
does
not have to support a new selection type.  It is all transparent to the
server, only the clients need to interoperate.  The core Xlib does not
have to support it either.  Clients can freely invent new selection 
types
without any modification to X servers or its libraries.

I guess things like xterm in XFree86 is modified to support UTF8_STRING,
and that is what is meant by "support".
