Most commands should be using !Foo in the negatory sense.

How do you mean? It's perfectly simple to add something like:
Style * StickyStipples
Style * !StickyStipples
... Which might apply to windows which have been declared as sticky.

Maybe it is, but then you can turn that around and say that stippling
sticky windows in the first place is also wrong.

I don't like this, since you would probably extend it to include things
like:
Style Shaded (...)
Style HasTitle (...)
It gets too boring, unmanagable, and ultimately wrong. The stylation
of window *states* (as in the above) just doesn't make logical sense to
me.
