The way that we did it required the minimal amount of code change
possible, and has been contributed back to the mainstream X11 codebase:
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/lib/libxtrans.git;a=commitdiff;h=6217f34977bfa17b66b89df5d45420774abedcb3
(That's the changes for both the client and the server.)

AIR, there is a persnickety difference between "localhost:0" and ":
0", I believe, someone correct me if I'm wrong: "localhost:0" hits
the NIC and ":0" is direct rendering. Perhaps you are wondering why
you'd ever want to use the network when you can just set it to :0,
and the answer is: if you are testing software, sometimes you want
to test GLX vs. GL... I hope I'm remembering this correctly.
What I'm saying is, please don't change the usage to be what you
think is the "right" way, i.e., a peculiar Apple-only way, rather do
it the way everyone else does it, or it will actually be harder for
a bunch of us that use multiple platforms to figure out what you
thought was super cool compared to what RHEL does, etc.

If I understand what you're suggesting, that is in fact what we're
already doing. We modified libX11.dylib to detect the special
launchd
DISPLAY format, and to handle that correctly.
But that's not what Dave was suggesting, IIUC. He was suggesting
that, as a special case, the Apple version of libX11 treat ":0.0" and
other DISPLAY values that normally mean "the local console display"
*as if* they were set to the special launchd format. Assuming it
could figure out where the launchd socket is....
