It would generally be about which “space” the window is on, and I 
would need some sort of unique identifier that survives minor 
(desktop/spaces) configuration changes and/or reboot.

Which makes me think, that perhaps this is why Apple’s session restore 
(that respect spaces) only works when you log out. In this case, they 
can be (almost) certain that when the user logs back in, the same spaces 
configuration will be recreated. Whereas if you simply quit an 
application and relaunch it a month later, it could be a challenge to 
figure out what “spaces” the application was actually using.
