There is an (old) interesting discussion at
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/wm-spec-list/2004-March/msg00007.html,
but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to have led to any useful addition to
the EWMH specification.

According to the specification:

« The Window Manager SHOULD calculate this space by taking the current
page minus space occupied by dock and panel windows, as indicated by the
_NET_WM_STRUT or _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL properties set on client windows.
»

We can probably write a similar implementation that will calculate the
work area on one given screen, by subtracting from the screen geometry
all the strut-reserved areas of all windows on this screen.
