Broadway

   <standard, operating system> A standard which the {X
   Consortium} is currently (January 1997) developing and plans
   to release soon as an {open standard}.  A prime goal is to be
   more {bandwidth}-efficient and easier to develop for (and to
   {port}) than the {X Window System}, which has been widely
   described as over-sized, over-featured, over-engineered and
   incredibly over-complicated.
