Instead of discussing this further in scarab I'm moving it to this mailing list 
where I should have started it all. ;)

I feel this should be discussed further before any action is taken.

While I see that it could be useful to be able to get the "main" tab 
(parent-tab), it
still should be possible to get the true key.

What about a getKey() that works as it does today and a 
getTrueKey()/getRealKey()/whatever
that ignores the parent-key attribute?
