Who is "we"? It would solve the issue with the MacOS menu. It would allow using existing dock-bars for dock-apps. It would allow me to run anything I want (e.g. some small text-mode app in an xterm) on some screen border and not getting resized or covered by rearrangements in the managed layer. (larswm had seomthing like a "tool" flag for such clients and tried not to overlap with such windows automatically - we don't need to go that far.) I'm not saying everybody needs it, but I can well imagine it's use. (And didn't you say this "managed area" is still handled within wmii? So why hide it to outside?)
