That is not correct. Tabs do use CSS classes only to achieve the
desired effect, that's why you can simply change the style sheet to
your needs and do not have to bother to change the plugin code itself
(one aspect by the way as to why I consider them pretty unobtrusive).

If you use effects though, the display style will become block during
the animation (and only during the animation), because that is a
simple requirement for it to work (you cannot animate width for
example for an element with inline display).

Again, you could easily transform divs into a list. Part of a tab
interface is to me - regarding pure HTML without presentational and
behavorial layer - a bunch of links that do belong together
semantically. An ordered/unordered list is probably the most
semantically way to express that in HTML. A bunch of divs on the other
hand do not have any semantics at all.

If that is a shortcoming of UI Tabs I'm more than happy to help.
