Oh, you're right. Thats not currently possible. And I guess the
rationale given for the gravity in _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW 

(Using a _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW message with StaticGravity allows Pagers
to exactly position and resize a window including its decorations
without knowing the size of the decorations.) 

is a bit misleading in that respect. I think it should be reworded as

Using a _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW message with a specified gravity allows
Pagers to exactly position a window including its decorations without
knowing the size of the decorations.
