This is from your proposal:


(1) A window group is a collection of windows displayed within the root
    window of a frame.  For any window group there exists one designated
    window - the root window of that group.  A group root window is
    either the frame's root window or is a window whose parent window
    does not belong to any group (hence groups don't nest).  Every other
    window of a group is a subwindow of the group root window.  Internal
    windows of a group have at least two children (so a group contains
    at least two leaf windows).

So, I understand that to mean that I can twice
split a window horizontally:
_______
| | | |
| | | |
|_|_|_|

Then twice split the middle window:

_______
| |_| |
| |_| |
|_|_|_|

Then split the window in the center of
that and from the resulting two leaf windows
form a group.

Now the non-grouped windows in that frame
fail to add up to a rectangle.

Did I misunderstand something?
