Thus, you would like a certain file to open its window in a certain position and configuration *every* time - you think of the window and its position as a property of the *file*. (As someone pointed out, that's how BBEdit works.) This is what Xcode completely does away with.
Correct. Xcode 4 doesn't offer "true" special purpose document windows. Xcode 4 uses a "browser model", and has only one type of window (albeit one that can be configured to at least look somewhat like a simple single-document window). Xcode 3 was not all that different from Xcode 4 in this regard, but Xcode 3 went further in trying to offer something more akin to simple single-document windows for certain configurations and workflows.

It solves the problem of seeing the Console full-page in *this* project, once you've set it up, but in another project you'd have to set it up all over again. This is frustrating because what we are trying to configure is a totally independent universal, The Console. To Xcode, it is merely yet another window of *this one project* (or workspace).
IIRC that's not supposed to be the case if you use named tabs, like I suggested. They're supposed to be shared across all workspaces / projects.
