You just said excluding!!!! Therefore something has to know what it wants back..
If we agree that _fullscreen() should return the whole display (which
means sbs is disabled) , and set_defaults() should return the ui area,
then when the skin_parser starts parsing (i.e before it sees any %we
or %wd tags) the default viewport should be setup with a call to
set_defaults().
It should only fix that to calling fullscreen() when a %wd tag is found.

Now, how does set_defaults() know that its being called by a skin or
by the lists? it doesnt, and shouldnt... it should be returning the
same viewport for both, i.e the one from the setting. therefor makeing
%Vi redundant and unused.

I *will* accept that %Vi can be used as a hint to themers as a way to
say where it is safe to put the ui or other stuff in other skins, but
in that case a comment would do it better.
