Yes, but you could implement both of those features for viewports
too. It's just a random accident that WindowMaker has them only for
workspaces.

That's why having both is so pointless - in fact it's sort of actively
annoying, since they tend to accrue their own feature-sets, and you
arbitrarily have to choose between two feature sets.

Sure, my statement is more "all window managers could simply pick one
or the other and implement all features for that one."
