    If PPosition and PSize are specified, should the window manager query the
    user for the window's size and position ?

The ICCCM places no constraints on this policy decision.

    I would like to specify a default size and position for the window but
    allow the user to override them as the window is being mapped.  What is the
    correct way to specify this behavior ?

Too early in the morning, I guess, I don't understand the question.
