ooh, neat idea Justin. Also list comprehension example here may help
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/General_xmonad.hs_config_tips#Making_window_float_by_default.2C_or_send_it_to_specific_workspace

Regarding regexps and String -> Bool there's this thread and pending patch
for regexps module, also Hooks.ManageHelpers in xmonad-contrib has some tools.
