Yeah, that sounds about right.

"Always on top", incidentally, is very often used for windows which
won't have input focus - maybe a small window showing a status graph,
or maybe a short-lived popup alert - rather than as a means of keeping
the user's attention on something. But whatever it's used for, it
doesn't affect input focus.
