XMonad also supports this (it's actually the default, but there's a module you can use to get the "normal" behavior).

Here, I have 3 monitors with 9 workspaces. Each monitor shows a single workspace (though a workspace can't be on two monitors at the same time; maybe Wayland will fix that problem :) ). Unfortunately, the keybindings for manipulating a setup like this can get a little crazy. Comments from my xmonad.hs:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
-- ctrl+F[1 .. ], Switch to workspace N
-- ctrl+shift+F[1 .. ], View to workspace N
-- meta+F[1 .. ], Move client to workspace N and follow
-- meta+shift+F[1 .. ], Move client to workspace N
-- alt+F[1 .. ], Swap with workspace N and follow
-- alt+shift+F[1 .. ], Swap with workspace N
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-- ctrl+meta+F[1 .. ], Switch to screen N
-- ctrl+meta+shift+F[1 .. ], Move client to screen N
-- alt+meta+F[1 .. ], Swap with screen N and follow
-- alt+meta+shift+F[1 .. ], Swap with screen N
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-- ctrl+alt+[left,right], Switch to workspace to the left or right
-- meta+[left,right], Move window to left or right and follow
-- meta+shift+[left,right], Move window to left or right
-- alt+meta+[left,right], Swap with workspace to left or right and follow
-- alt+meta+shift+[left,right], Swap with workspace to left or right
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-- ctrl+alt+[up,down], Switch to next/previous screen
-- meta+[up,down], Move window to next/previous screen and follow
-- meta+shift+[up,down], Move window to next/previous screen
-- alt+meta+[up,down], Swap with next/previous screen and follow
-- alt+meta+shift+[up,down], Swap with next/previous screen

I don't use all of them (the Fn indexing for screens and the swapping workspaces between screen don't see much use), but it's nice to have the flexibility to manipulate windows and workspaces with the keyboard.
