Again, why the word "tab"?
Because that's the word they are generally called, in regard to
browsers for instance, and what most computer users will know.
The display stratagem seems redundant -
we've already got frames and windows - so, would it not be a better idea
to have @def{frame sets}, a collection of frames displayed in the same
place, any one of which can be selected by its tab?
That's not what a tab should do. Tabs should operate within a frame.
