Sorry, I missed this amid the spam on my first pass through my mailbox.
The utility is just based on the Ontaria UI design: resources are
viewed through a particular presentation-rule appropriate to the class
of the resource. Since resources are usually in multiple classes,
they have multiple views, which the user can select on tabs. It's a
little hard to explain; hopefully it'll be obvious if you play with it
in the next release.
