Hello Reid,

cool idea! I will try to implement it to my website in the near future
(first I have to get familiar with tabview:) It reminds me of the
"Carousel" widget which should appear in the next YUI versions, that I
am of course looking forward to.

I don't see so much sense in the vertical animation with tabs at the
moment but I could imagine something different. You have a viewport
and behind it there is a huge document, so with vertical and
horizontal tab-like controls along the X- and Y-axis you can position
your viewport (crosslines would be the correct metaphor) wherever you
want to see the part of the document... In computer games you do it
with this little worldview window.

Cheers, Klaudiusz
