Seems to me a very good idea.

There is a patch for the stable version of fvwm (2.4.x). The devel
version of fvwm (2.5.x) use the spec. For the stable version the
patch allows the user to configure itself the wm behavior for
each window type (with "reasonable" default). The devel version does
not decorate TYPE_MENU window as it has been tested with KDE2 (GNOME2
was too instable when I wrote the EWMH support) but the plan is to make
this configurable. But it is clear that KDE violate the spec here.
I think that some others wm use the spec at least at the devel level.
(e.g., AfterStep ?).
