Maybe it's a good idea to explicitly mention this in the spec. However
it doesn't 100% make sense to me; note that the onscreen keyboard
needs to be above FULLSCREEN windows and splash screens, while a dock
would normally be below fullscreen windows and splash screens, for
example.

It's possible we should break down and add
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD since the onscreen keyboard is
such a totally bizarre app. Or just leave it as
_METACITY_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD since metacity is probably the only WM
that's likely to get accessibility-ified in the near future anyway.
