Bah. I deleted what I'd written about *and switch to a multi-process model* as
being too verbose. I guess it wasn't.

Quite the opposite, if the WM can do MDI (tabbing, in this case), applications
SHOULD let the WM do MDI for them. But I think you meant process-per-tab, which
is also not stupid; it prevents one broken/rogue website from taking out your
browser as a whole (or a crash from taking out *all* documents/sessions/etc as
opposed to just one).

> The problem with NWI is that it is a huge project [...]

True, never said it wasn't. But we seem to be taking baby steps in that
direction, as tabbing (and the tiling research) indicates.

I'm not asking for NWI tomorrow :-). Mostly I'm using that goal as evidence why
I think we *eventually* want an FD.o spec for applications talking to the WM.
