Unlike X which had everything as its own window at first, Wayland supports 2 types of windows.
Top-level windows, which are essentially wrappers around multiple buffers.
And sub-surface windows, which is mainly targeted at video playback.

Isn't it mean to say that sub-surface windows contain one buffer? Can't see that video playback is the only thing that has one buffer.
Also is it possible to nest Top-level windows?
In this case the name is misleading since it suggests you can't nest them.
(Composite or wrapper window would say better what it does)
Can somebody give a bit clearer explanation for what these two windows are and do?
