I for one really don't see how that is a legit thing for authors to 
decide.  Seems completely a user agent decision to me.  (Not to mention 
terminal based browsers like lynx and screen readers that would have no 
reasonable way to support it.)

I can barely remember how I used the web before tabs, but I still wouldn't 
want to give control of that to the html author (and as an author I 
wouldn't want that control either).  If it were added to the spec, 
then browsers would have to come up with a way to ignore them which seems 
like it means extra work has to get done by everyone.
