I typically use a tabbed interface for displaying search results that
span multiple sources or categories, and I usually modify code I've
used on several web apps to do this. However my code's a bit clunky
still, so I was happy to see the addition of an easy to use tabs
library. However, I found several limitations when trying to use it to
do what I wanted.
Here are the functions I think should be added:
1) Remove tab
2) Rename tab (if you have remove, rename may not be needed)
3) Specify div to place tabs -- so that entire gadget isn't encompassed
by the tabs

If there is some way of removing or renaming tabs that I missed, please
let me know.
I managed to still use the tabs for the gadget, and it did save a bit
of space, but I wasn't able to use them to what I'd feel their full
potential could have been.

Also, drag and drop library looks realllly fun. Can't wait to come up
with an excuse to play with that.

Also, unrelated note-- since there's a shortcut for
document.getElementById, can we get a shortcut for
document.createElement (e.g. cel("DIV"))? Just looks awkward for the
shortcut _gel to be next to doc.createElement.

Anyway, thanks for the API, it certainly does make gadgeting a fun&fast
process!
