Unnecessarily dogmatic.  A client may or may not choose to do this,
though it seems a good idea.  And if the group leader is mapped, it
might make sense to use it for group iconification as well.  The
global minibuffer in epoch, for instance, would make a good window
group leader.  The plaid window in xpostit, as well.
