What you propose only adds predictability for the developer how exactly 
"his" windows will behave.  Which might in fact be of some value if he needs

to specify how exactly to do window management tasks on "his" windows.
But why the hell should he, instead of just referring to the wm manual ? 
It is far better to ensure desktop-wide uniformity and learnability by
letting 
the wm set the policy how windows of certain types are managed.
