I've been thinking of this, too. In principle, it should be sufficient to just move the unused windows to some workspace. But somehow, it just doesn't feel right and I never do it. I haven't been able to find out why, though. Perhaps it would be sufficient to just assign different keybindings for this.

Issue 35: No-mans land to send windows off to http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=35
New issue report by tim.thelion: I have been using xmonad with emacs for quite a while. I have emacs configured so that it opens almost everything in an new frame(window) and I have these windows managed by xmonad. This means that I can close those windows, and still have the emacs buffers in tact. I can switch back to a buffer using emacs' excellent buffer switcher. I would love it if xmonad had a no-mans land like this for non-emacs windows. That way, when firefox was in the way, I could close it, not worying about what was in it. And then use some kind of window switcher to get back to it at a later time(maybe on a different workspace). I don't think this is a terriably high priority feature request. But I think it would make things quite a bit more fluid for this window manager which currently lets unused windows get in the way, or get sent off to some workspace in the middle of no where where they get forgotten about.
