Sure but KWin isn't made by Wayland developers, it use Wayland which is different, Weston made in the Wayland project is still CSD only: the Wayland protocol supports both type of design.

Weston cannot do it currently which isn't a big issue: the main issue is that if this 'decoration negotiation' part isn't part of the basic protocol (I don't know if it is or not: I haven't checked) then this will make interoperability complicated.
