Isn't this how workspaces have worked in xmonad for a long itme? Each
screen is already a view onto an independent workspace from a shared
list of workspaces -- I'm confused as to what you're trying to add.
Does the feature hinge on "even if they have the same name"?

The one xinerama / workspace feature I think would be nice (but
probably quite difficult) is support for mirroring -- where a
workspace being shown on one screen doesn't preclude it from being
shown on another. To do it you'd probably have to special-case viewing
the same workspace more than once using xrandr, and it would be weird.
