I change the viewport with Shift + arrow keys, and it's comfy enough for
me, so to be honest, 'viewport undo-redo' doesn's sound so attractive 
for me. One more reason is that I use 2x2 viewports, so undo-redo does
not seem sufficient. How do you switch the viewport? 

The goals of both seem identical; to resume the previous work
in a handy way. Eventually they may come into the trunk.
I'm not sure what to do with the workspace, but I think viewport
replaces workspace, because the latter is only one-dimensional.
Now I recall that one reason I liked Sawfish was that it supported
viewport.

Undo-redo uses hook, but mine doesn't. It's probable that they
don't cooperate well.

If you say you can't live without both, :-/, I may make it. (But it'll
require a one-liner patch, for 'viewport-pre-move-hook', and rewriting
of mine.)

Let me state my case.
Shift + arrow is rarely used, but when I started to use emacs
org-mode last year, it needs them, so I had to rebind them. Shift +
arrows for sawfish (of course! Sawfish comes first.) and Shift + Ctrl 
for org. The latter is less frequently used, so not much trouble.

Each loves sawfish in their own way. 'De gustibo' something.
