Well, there's

	http://developer.gnome.org/doc/standards/wm/book1.html

which does mention the "always on top" stuff.

"Additional" as in "over and above the Window Manager Specification at

	http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec.html

" (that being the one to which I was referring)?

If so, I think some of the stuff specified by the GNOME window manager
spec is supposed to be in the freedesktop.org window manager spec,
although not all of it necessarily is (e.g., the WIN_LAYER_xxx stuff).

None of those appear to be mentioned in

	http://developer.gnome.org/doc/standards/wm/book1.html

so maybe there's another spec hiding somewhere.
