Er, grabs do have that ability: see the ReplayPointer and ReplayKeyboard arguments to XAllowEvents.
That does not quite get what I want. Say for instance that the grabbing program drags windows around. I want it to drag the window no matter what shift keys are held down, as long as the program does not handle that combination. But the only way to tell that is to ask the application first.
XAllowEvents just allows a grabbing program to more-finely specify it's grab. But I do think if there are passive grabs, they could be much coarser in their selection (perhaps you could only grab entire devices, or maybe *everything*) and "allow" would be the only method to "not grab" events.
But this is identical to what I want programs to be able to do, so now there is no difference between a grabber and a normal application. There just need to be some rules in Wayland saying which one is first. Hopefully those rules can be simple.
