One idea was that the client can ask the compositor to create a cookie (a blob) that the client can save, and when restoring the window, give the cookie back to the compositor to recall the position and size, subject to the compositor checking if it makes sense (e.g. avoid putting windows in unreachable places) and adjusting as necessary. It is a blob rather than (x,y,w,h,a,r,g,...) tuple, so that different compositors can save all the compositor-specific data too, like rotation angles. Also, the blob is to prevent clients from abusing the recall mechanism to position windows in global coordinates. But that's just one idea.
That solution cannot work as we need the ability to reuse the saved settings on Windows and X and OS/X and also on different Wayland compositors.
