There are three philosophies to deal with multiple workspaces and multiple monitors:
* one pool of WSs for all monitors (gnome,mate,win10)
* one shared pool of WSs for each monitor (xmonad)
* one pool of WSs for each monitor (awesome,dwm,e17)
So what xmonad has is one set of workspaces and each monitor can pick one from the shared pool! It's so great to have a WS dedicated for WWW on a side monitor and when something important comes up, I can bring that WS to the main monitor. Not easily done with the last idea.
