No, this is not equivalent because the following command:

    wmctrl -xa mutt

activates the first client matching the given 'title'.

You could rather do:

    #! /bin/sh

    wid=$(lsw -l | grep -m 1 "$_AT_" | cut -d ' ' -f 1)

    if [ -n "$wid" ]; then
        xdotool windowactivate "$wid"
    else
        case "$_AT_" in
            mutt)
                urxvt -title mutt -e mutt;;
            MOC)
                urxvt -e mocp;;
            *)
                echo "don't know how to raise '$_AT_'" >&2
                exit 1;;
        esac
    fi
