I think this should be left out. One of the best features of the new spec is 
that clients don't dictate stacking order - that decision is left up to the WM 
based on the type of window (_NET_WINDOW_TYPE plus urgency bit, etc). Also I 
don't think StaysOnTop is the same as OmniPresent... doesn't one hint specify 
stacking order and the other specify viewport/desktop location (unclear 
which)?
