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.
Yes, but then you'd end up with lots of equal styles applying to
different situations..

Maybe it is, but then you can turn that around and say that stippling
sticky windows in the first place is also wrong.
Yes, I did say that :) but it's just my opinion..

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.
It would allow us for instance to use a different color style for
sticky windows, instead of just allowing stippling..
It would allow setting different colors to the iconified windows. This
currently can only be done with the use of colorsets, which I belive
is a broken behaviour.
And the list goes on. It's a flexible solution that follows the same
philosophy that was behindreplacing all sorts of old fvwm commands
with their Style counterpart..
