Well, just as the fullscreen state modifies the stacking behaviour of
normal windows, couldn't the floating state modify the stacking behaviour 
of docks ?

Yes, the ICCCM focus handling is only about giving focus to the client 
window, the wm may still accept it on its frame.

Never having seen an onscreen keyboard in action, don't these have window
decorations/wm menus ? If yes, why don't you want them to be accessible by
the keyboard ? If no, how about override redirect as a way out ?
