What part of this do we think should be better documented? Shading windows is an incredibly old window management feature (Mac OS 9 had it, for example) and had, in general, always been called that.
I'm also not certain that this does only make sense in floating workspaces, I believe it works in tiled ones as well in that if there is a horizontal split the other half will expand to fill the new space.

Actually, even Mac OS 7.6 had it.
How you going to make it work in tiled workspace? I don't understand the need of this in tiled wm, because usually you use it to stop windows from overlapping for a moment. But you use tiled wm to make it happen every second, right?

I can't speak to how useful it is or isn't in that case but it definitely works there (as well as on floating workspaces) and could certainly be useful in cases where you don't need to monitor the window contents until something happens (which sets the window active and you'll see the titlebar color change).

Can you provide a screenshot of such shaded window?
What if alt-title is in game?

See the series of screenshots up at http://unreliablesource.net/notion/ for how it works on a tiled workspace.
