I also think that the second mode is better. As a matter of fact,
that's what I'm currently using. If I want to maximize floating
windows I just toggle floating after setting the monocle layout.
e.g.: when I'm using gimp (which I do very often) sometimes I want my
draw window to be maximized having the toolbars on top of it, but if
monocle maximizes the toolbars windows it makes gimp unusable.
For me, a floating window means: "I don't want the tile algorithm to touch it".

my 2 cents,
