Yes, I apologize for that. I've simplified the previous text and added
your paragraph at the end:

	<para>
_NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED indicates whether window decorations are drawn in an
active state. Clients MUST regard it as a read only hint which they can't
change. The window given by _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW will usually have this hint,
but at times other windows may as well, if they have a strong association with
the active window and will be considered as a unit with it by the
user. Clients that modify the appearance of internal elements when they expect
to receive input (keyboard or mouse) SHOULD use this indication in preference
to FocusIn or EnterNotify events, when it is available. By doing so they will
accurately reflect the intentions of the Window Manager.
	</para>

Do we agree on this?

Thanks,
Rui
