Hm, I guess that would be one way to do it.  My idea is to have tags,
both static and dynamic.

That is.. you can define window Foo to be tagged Bar in the rc.xml
with per-app settings, but you can also use an action to tag/untag
windows on screen.

Then, the action would specify a tag which would go to any windows
tagged as such.  The tag could be shown in the titlebar I think.
