acme is a window manager.  running acme within acme is not necessary.
so saying that acme and rio are inconsistent is like complaining that gnome
running in Xnest is inconsistent within a parent kde desktop.

that being said, russ did have (at least for a time) a -a flag for p9p rio that
made rio windows behave a lot like acme.  i kind of liked that.

of course, as you've noticed, this is fertile ground for new ideas.
