The basic model is dwm-ish, so:
I physical screens (Xinerama)
view onto
J virtual workspaces (tags)
grouping
K windows
the windows are tiled in a number of ways.

Sort of. Not arbitrary.

All scripting languages are supported, as long as that language is Haskell.

Nope. Probably in 0.2

Yes. Same as dwm. Send killClient to the window.

Yes.

Yes, it is a variation of dwm's tags. But simpler, not needlessly
complex regex matching (urgh!)
