Why exactly do we want the WM to be handling tabs here? Trying to do tabbed applications within the window manager for the sake of having tabs is a huge waste of memory, especially when the application itself can already do tabs. It also does not make sense from a design perspective. the whole point of tabbed windows (as it is implemented in both Compiz and KWin) is to allow multiple /applications/ to be shoved into one window, applications which the user delegates themselves as related. Confusing documents and windows here doesn't help at all.
