 I'd agree here, I don't think such option belongs to the spec. I, for 
example, use Alt+Tab constrained to the current desktop, but the taskbar 
lists all windows. Or, also, if there would be one shortcut for showing only 
current desktop and another for showing all windows, what should this option 
be set to?
