The tablet-shell is unmaintained and unused. It is currently
dead-weight and a burden when we make changes to weston. Let's
drop it for now, we can pull it out of git if we find a need for it later.
xdg_shell is a protocol aimed to substitute wl_shell in the long term,
but will not be part of the wayland core protocol. It starts as a
non-stable API, aimed to be used as a development place at first, and
once features are defined as required by several desktop shells, we can
finally make it stable.
It provides mainly two new interfaces: xdg_surface and xdg_popup.
The xdg_surface interface implements a desktop-style window, that can be
moved, resized, maximized, etc. It provides a request for creating
child/parent relationship, called xdg_surface.set_transient_for.
The xdg_popup interface implements a desktop-style popup/menu. A
xdg_popup is always transient for another surface, and also has implicit
grab.
This reverts commit 2396aec684.
This exact version of the sub-surface protocol has been copied into
Wayland core. Therefore it must be removed from here to avoid build
conflicts and useless duplication.
No other changes to sub-surface protocol consumers are needed, the
identical API is now offered by libwayland-client and libwayland-server.
The commit adding sub-surfaces to Wayland is:

The weston test extension, called weston-test.so, can be loaded
from the "modules" configuration option on the command line
or in the .ini file.
Clients can bind to the "wl_test" interface to interact with
the weston test extension.

It makes sense to split the interfaces in a text and a input-method
protocol for now (only the text protocol needs to be used in toolkits).

The workspace manager interface purpose is to provide clients with
control and knowledge about the current workspace state. Initially only
one function and one event exists; moving a surface and state updated
event. A workspace is represented as an index in a 1 dimensional array.
A client keeps track of the state by being broadcasted events when the
state changes, currently limited to current workspace or number of
workspaces available.
A client can send an asynchronous request to the manager asking to move
a surface to workspace identified by an index. It is up to the shell to
actually move it.
