You mean EWMH hints? Nah, that will break with apps not
supporting EWMH. It works quite well, if an app requests screen
size to handle it as fullscreen app. Many other WMs do it the
same way.
  
    But clearly in this the current behavior doesn't manage my windows correctly.  The whole idea of having wmii completely manage the layout of windows is precisely so the user doesn't need to think about this kind of stuff. 

    Furthermore, since when did the X11 specification say that requesting a window the size of the screen or larger was semantically a request that it be made "full screen"?  Apps that expect this behavior are broken because they're relying on a behavior that isn't actually specified anywhere.  Using EWMH, as distasteful as it may be at least has a valid semantic meaning.
