Good Lord, we've already got it! You can open a body editor in the tabbed log pane from the splitter right-click menu. Then you can make the whole log pane into a full-height panel. So now we can already have both VR3 (well, my non-plugin tab version is currently named "VR4") and the body in tabs, so we can check out if we really like it or not. It gives a lot more screen space for viewing than using the triple panes we currently use be default.
