    A softly dedicated window is a window that's been created specifically to
    display a particular buffer, but whose allegiance to this buffer may not
    be eternal.  More specifically if the user decides to do switch-to-buffer,
    no error will be signalled and instead the dedication flag will simply be
    set to nil.  This way, when the buffer gets deleted the window also gets
    deleted but only if the user hasn't used that window for some
    other purpose in the mean time.

It sounds like a good idea.
