It would be possible. But keep in mind, that tagging is a
simplification of the workspace paradigm already, because there
is no workspace and you view only the clients which match the
selected tags. This seems simplier to me. Thus, there is no
detach/attach necessary at all.

If you don't need the statusbar, or client titles, they can be
easily removed.
