This is worth solving, but I'm not sure it's worth solving with this particular spec.

The current text just expects the window to stay on the screen it's currently associated with, but perhaps that's naive?

In any case, coordinating multiple windows, or trying to span one across multiple monitors, seems like it's going to bring a lot of grief, and should probably get a lot of care and attention from a different spec concerned with only that feature.
