"X11" is the standard way to refer to "The X Window System, version
11".  "x11" case-mangled but interpretable; "x, version 11" causes me
to double-take.

There are political reasons for not using Win32 like everybody else
does, I know, but why let that screw up a perfectly good custom for a
free windowing system?

Also, you phrase "3rd version ... for Emacs" is somewhat ambiguous,
but I'd take that as "the third try at a Windows GUI by the Emacs
project", not as "Microsoft's third version".  OTOH, "X11" most
definitely means "version 11 as defined by the MIT/X Consortium".
