It might help if we defined what we meant by a tab *first* before we 
start making too many architectural decisions.

What is a tab?
  - Does it simply provide a way to organize content? If so, can 
individual docs (linked to on the associated side menu) appear only 
within a single tab "realm"? I'm not sure I want to say no. There are 
many helpful ways to organize the same content.
  - Does it represent a mode of use of a document resource ( a web site, 
a distro set, etc.) Modes might include learning, using, managing, 
testing, etc. Again, can individual docs  (linked to on the associated 
side menu) appear only within a single tab "realm"?

Other ideas?
