I thought about this as well, and I think two lines of such a
colors definition look fine (if one would need a third color et
e could simply use three lines). Agreed.

True. We can simply define <color set> <text>\n

(I thought of a pager, but maybe you are right)...

Yeah.

Actually I can agree with this as well. To fetch all floating
client id's of a view one could do:

wmiir read /tag/sel/index|grep '^~'| awk '{print $2}'

Agreed.

also agreed. If it is necessary we can add it later.

To summarize:

/client/
/client/N
/client/N/ctl
/client/N/props
/client/N/tags
/colors (*)
/colrules
/ctl
/event
/font
/keys
/lbar/
/lbar/LABEL (ordered alphabetically) (**)
/mousemod
/rbar/
/rbar/LABEL (ordered alphabetically) (**)
/tagrules
/tag/NAME/index (***)
/tag/NAME/ctl

(*) syntax:
<sel-fg> <sel-bg> <sel-border>\n
<norm-fg> <norm-bg> <norm-border>

(**) syntax:
<fg> <bg> <border> <text>

(***) syntax:
~|<colN> N\n
~|<colN> N

Anything missing?
