I'm confused.  The wiki clearly states that the If action can branch
based on a window's role.

http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#If

In fact, I already have a mousebind and a keybind that branch based on
the window's role, and it works as documented in the wiki.

So role does have uses besides session restoration.
