 I did, but maybe I didn't get it. Are you talking maybe about "crappy 
toolkits or such forcing a window type being specified"? AFAIK it's a rather 
common practice to detect client support for the spec by a presence of any 
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE hint. Not to mention that, quoting, "The Client SHOULD 
specify window types in order of preference (the first being most preferable) 
but MUST include at least one of the basic window type atoms from the list 
below."
