You can already do this for the pan windows surrounding the screen (which is how EdgeResistance is able to work for page boundaries, etc.) Extending this for the working area would not be feasible for EWMH-specific window types such as docks. So its implementation cannot depend on augmenting the way pan windows work at the moment. -- Thomas Adam
