Peter,

I think you're right--bare king rule should not apply.  There will be some
interesting endgames with stalemate as a win. For example, K and R vs K
can be a win if the pieces are in the right realms, such as R holds enemy
K on the last rank as friendly K moves to stalemate. 

I rather like the sound of Separate Realms Chess.
