First of all, there is some personal taste involved, which no 
wm will ever be able to guess. And second, how long do you 
believe you have to wait, until some app will provide these 
hints to wmii? (and the hints provided by the programmer may 
still not result in what the user wants)
The only way to account for different personal taste is 
customizability... (and I don't mean by modifying the source 
code).
