Have you considered:

  - tab placement wrt to content: if they are on the bottom do you want
    the active row to still be at the bottom? For side tabs?
  - the relationship to vertical text?
  - left and right tabs, possibly with rotated (90°) text?

I understand the use case, but is it worth adding that complexity into 
UAs when tabs are likely to be used only by a minority of websites? Last 
I looked there were various ways to simulate tabs to what seemed to be a 
satisfactory degree (even if they weren't complete).
