I meant as a user, not as an application developer. I don't have titlebars in my tiling window manager.

Each Wayland's compositor should provide it's own library. In a tiling Window manager most functions would be stubs, because windows do not really need decorations.

It doesn't really look like it's designed this way... How would these libraries be linked anyways? Toolkits would link with a generic implementation, and different implementations would be LD_PRELOADed at runtime? (or something similar)

It's more likely that the Wayland library would read a configuration file (or other configuration state) which would then give it the name of a plugin .so to load to implement the pluggable stuff.
But, noooo, it's better to force people to reimplement or fork the whole thing! Bah.
