I don't really see the difference: they're still hidden, they're just
hidden because they're on different cards (in fact, MetaCard also
supports this model, which is used in several stacks in the standard
development environment and help system). Is the transition between
cards handled automatically when you click on the tabs? How do you
bind the "tab" stack to the stack you want it to appear on, and can
you edit this "tab" stack in place? And can you place things on top
of the tabs if you need to?
