Yes. The multiplaned X-Faces aren't really useful as they are now.
Let's see... Looking at one parts of one line with a single-plane
X-Face, it's like this:
1111000000001111
(A black bit with some white around it.)
With two planes it's:
1101000000010011
1110000000001111
(Lighter around the edges and black in the middle.)
So plane 1 doesn't remain the same with two planes representing 4
colors. But perhaps the other planes don't have to be constructed
that way?
In any case, I think multiplaned X-Faces are a loss, and coming up
with a new standard would be better. The Face header, which can
contain URLs or PNGs, or something.
