It is argued that pulsar windzones are pulsed γ-ray emitters, and X-ray emitters. The wind consists of a strong subluminal wave, in approximate equipartition with a relativistic electron-positron plasma; it also contains a weak frozen-in magnetic flux. Trailing filaments may be responsible for large-angle particle scattering, giving rise to one-sided X-ray appearance.
