Proposal to Create Tab-based interface for TWiki

I'd like to float the idea of creating a skin that provides a tab-based interface for TWiki. KoalaSkin using tabs for displaying TWiki-webs but I'm talking about other options. Specifically, I think tabs are an logical/intuitive way to organize multiple views of the same content, such as TML/HTML/preview, or DocumentMode / ThreadMode.

Here are two examples of interfaces from other wikis or CMS systems which I offer as inspiration:

TextPattern

What I like about this interface is quick-switching between the three editing views (i.e. markup, html, preview).

MediaWiki

tab2.jpg

What I like here is clear separation but quick-switching between "article" (DocumentMode) and "discussion" (ThreadMode) views.

Would anyone be interested in working on a TWiki skin that incorporates some of these ideas?
