 Why not simply have them bounce the packet with an ACTION_NOT_KNOWN
error?  This is easy to program and doesn't require trusting people to
check the window value you return. It also makes sense, since the only
reason to send an ACTION_DISK_INFO packet to a console-like handler is
to get the window address. If people want to know whether they're
running interactively or with redirected input, they can always use
IsInteractive().
