That's an interesting question, as you say a lot of effort has gone in to this
work and it is a shame if that was lost. Would it make sense that experimental
UIs become extensions until deemed to be stable? I think it doesn't make sense
to show something that is not considered production ready. Also if you have a
selection with anymore choices than 3 or 4 it will just become confusing for
the end user.

If I 'understand' the feelings above it would appear to me that there is more
agreement for the Tabbed choice from the notebook interface as that would prove
to be the most beneficial for users familiar with the Microsoft Office users
interface.

My personal opinion would be to switch to this as the default (certainly on
Windows)and make it super easy for people to switch back to the standard
interface if the end user is not happy with their choice.
