For the sake of backwards&Delphi compatibility the other way round
would be more appropriate, IMO:
fsAppStayOnTop - stay on top of all windows within the application
fsStayOnTop - stay on top of all windows within system. (current

Backwards?
fsStayOnTop and fsSystemStayOnTop has been in Lazarus for quite awhile.
Changing the behavior will make it backwards incompatible.
I don't really see fsAppStayOnTop in delphi VCL either.

Sorry, I didn't really take a look into the Lazarus sources and expected
fsStayOnTop in Lazarus behave the same as in Delphi, because LCL should
be VCL compatible.
From Delphi's documentation:
/fsStayOnTop This form remains on top of the desktop and of other forms
in the project, except any others that also have FormStyle set to
fsStayOnTop. If one fsStayOnTop form launches another, neither form will
consistently remain on top./
So it means that Lazarus' LCL and Delphi's VCL fsStayOnTop are not
compatible, which I don't really understand why this decision was made.
(Maybe some historic reason I am not aware of [?])
From my point-of-view, it would be a better decision to have
fsStayOnTop that behaves equally with Delphi (system-wide) and another
stay-on-top type application-wide just as I suggested before.
