An external app could provide pretty much the current bar

pages might make sense.
The bar should be internal to prevent adding bunch of
synchronization complexity to not overlap the bar all the
time... Also, I doubt the sense of having a bar with a 9P
interface as external app, that would add also much complexity
which seems totally unnecessary. The bar-(re)internalization was
the correct decision. larswm, ion3, *box and many other WMs
using a bar prove that.
There's also Fvwm with it's external... just about everything. They have to
be started by fvwm, but they're separate processes. I'd use Fvwm before any
blackbox derivative and possibly even before ion3.
Sorry, it's late. Anyway, the original post was about a patch. I think uriel
meant that it would make more sense to just write an external bar than to
write the patch. I happen to disagree and would more likely write the patch
than an external bar, mainly for the archetecture that's already present in
wmii.
