Just to point out that in some cases implementing tabs as /radio/
icons makes perfect sense (they should then be styled to look like
tabs). This is more an HTML implementation detail than a design point,
however (so where it fits on the IA scale is anyone's guess).

(I can't think of a good reason to use checkbox semantics on something
most users think of as a tab, so that's possibly indeed a nonsense :-)
