Great to see your mail... that certainly is a great approach ... But I was thinking on following lines ..
"Let's have an embedded IFRAME in the HTML, this shall remain invisible though out the operation... On click of the new tab, the html in the iframe shall be submitted to desired action class path identifier and we manage the tab's using div or span just the way you have explained. This approach shall use the same IFRAME to submit for all tabs." If it can work the way you have suggested, it would certainly make our life simpler...we would not require the hidden IFRAME.
