You mean EWMH hints? Nah, that will break with apps not

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.
Under normal circumstances no client requests screen size. This
is only the case for fullscreen clients. I haven't seen others
who request screen size, than explicitely those fullscreen
clients.
By "haven't seen" you seem to be ignoring the problems with
Thunderbird and Firefox. They are not asking to be made full screen.
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.
Nah, I don't think such apps are broken.
Relying on behavior that is not standardized is broken. I don't
see how I can be any more clear than that.
