I've been working on trying to develop some guidelines on tabs for a little while now. (So far, I've been concentrating on summarising previous discussions and current implementations.) Haven't had much time recently, but I do consider the work to be ongoing.
There's a wiki page on live.gnome.org [1]. It's a little unwieldy at the moment, I'm afraid. My next job is to summarise what's there into something short and meaningful (I'm hoping to do that some time this week, actually).
