This should indeed be done, regardless of what happers to swapping.

Right. On the other hand, it can be seen as a move too (since keyboard
up/down moving can only be done one client up/down at a time, it is
effectively the same as swapping, but from the mouse point of view,
moving up/down is different from swapping).

Yes, and that's why I think swapping should be dumped before wmii-3.
The usage of swapping is in my eyes a result of misusage of the
column(modes) approach. We already dropped bardrag-moving and
border-resizing because that points people in the right
usage-direction, I think we should do the same with swapping.
This is not suppusod to be a "like the others"-wm, but a "done the
right way"-wm.
