role="" matches an empty role set by the application, or the case when no role is set.

Yes, it can be considered part of the x/y info, all or none.

Ah, that comes from the fact you can also match on title in our git development branch.  Thanks.  Actually found a couple bugs in obxprop while sorting that out :)

Lookin forward to seeing this app.
