Wayland will implement its own network transparency, which will even allow using Wayland natively for stuff like what Nx (Nomachine protocol) does today, where X11 is just a performance hog. It's just that Wayland doesn't prioritize that aspect.

By the way. Weston is not part of Wayland - it's a reference compositor. Actual DEs, including the mobile ones will implement their own compositors, and I guess they'll have to support such features if Wayland will define a stable protocol for network transparency.
