I am hoping that I can somehow associate the stream's socket addresses (as
seen with BSD fstat) to a Window ID.

For example:

reed     rxvt        4072    3* unix stream c0881d00 <-> c0970000
root     XFree86      216   15* unix stream c0970000 <-> c0881d00

It seems like there would be someway to ask the X server for the Window
IDs with their socket addresses.

Then I could easily write an awk script to figure this all out.
