No this is pragmatic--the MUFFIN Tabbed NB only looks like the MS Ribbon UI it
does not implement that API.

While changing the default for only the Windows builds would require a whole
parallel documentation including large sections detailing the differences
between our button UNO actions and the MS API for the Ribbon namespace.

Again that is pragmatism recognizing the reality of the development and
documentation resources available to the project.

Frankly the most functional MUFFIN UI is the Contextual Single hybrid--but the
default Toolbar, Menu & Dialog supplemented by the Sidebar remains the most
appropriate to ship cross-platform.

Again that is being pragmatic. Working with one of the MUFFIN alternatives is
already trivial from the View menu for anyone interested--no reason to choose
one of them as a default when existing default is the most functional.  Again
pragmatism.
