[Sigia-l] tabbed design user test

[David Heller]

<< A common issue with tabs is that a lot of designs use tabs for
something other than different views or different types of information
on the same thing. It beats me why this ever happens, but one sees it
all the time. >>

That is a good point. I would put it more exactly that all the tabs need
to be peers with each other and equally related to some common parent.

So one of the things that makes tabs work better is that they are below
some sort of header, and it is clear that the tabs are associated with
the object in that header.
