Semantic Coherence — The Lens

Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.

No semantic drift is detected as the primary signal on the homepage immediately delivers on the technical promise of the Wayland protocol. The content remains focused on the architecture, implementation, and development resources without diverging into unrelated service offerings or vague business solutions. The heading hierarchy is minimal but strictly informational, supporting a logical flow from definition to developer resources.

Semantic Coherence is read from the heading hierarchy first: what each page announces in its H1 and headings, then whether the body actually delivers on it. Below is the structure the engine mapped, followed by the clean text to check for drift between promise and reality.

Wayland is a replacement for the X11 window system protocol and
architecture with the aim to be easier to develop, extend, and
maintain.
Wayland is the language (protocol) that applications can use to
talk to a display server in order to make themselves visible and
get input from the user (a person). A Wayland server is called
a "compositor". Applications are Wayland clients.
Wayland also refers to a system architecture. It is not just a
server-client relationship between a compositor and applications.
There is no single common Wayland server like Xorg is for X11,
but every graphical environment brings with it one of many compositor
implementations. Window management and the end user experience
are often tied to the compositor rather than swappable components.
A core part of Wayland architecture is libwayland: an inter-process
communication library that translates a protocol definition in XML to a C
language API. This library does not implement Wayland, it merely
encodes and decodes Wayland messages. The actual implementations are
in the various compositor and application toolkit projects.
Wayland does not restrict where and how it is used. A Wayland
compositor could be a standalone display server running on Linux
kernel modesetting and evdev input devices or on many other
operating systems, or a nested compositor that itself is an X11 or
Wayland application (client). Wayland can even be used in
application-internal communication as is done in some web browsers.
