Do not use a property for this!
Which tab is active is *not* a property of the object
but of the visit history.
Encode the information in the URL or in a session.
Look at the ZMI for an example (--> "App/dtml/manage_tabs.dtml")
how to do this.
Coding "activeness" in the template has 2 serious drawbacks:
* visits by other persons change the object state, I see
* each visit causes the template to be written to the ZODB
leading to unnecessary write operations (potential conflict
errors) and an unnecessary ZODB growth.
