We use different terminology. We use term "Tool" to refer to usually 
TopComponent. Tool can be tree view or map view or list or whatever 
suitable. It makes sense IMHO for e.g. the tree based tools to be able 
to be docked anywhere. They can be easily your documents and also the 
help views. The distinction is IMHO useless - at least for us. One user 
might use the tree as primary view for something (document) while the 
other might use it as helper for something else. There can be several 
instances of tool opened at the same time (like document) but the tool 
might not be the primary focus of the user (help view).

My only concern is that the command line switch that allows to disable 
enforcing these things will be preserved.

Best,
