Each Tab is labeled, an analog to our main Menu which can be suppressed, and
that labeling is sufficient to the MUFFIN NB 'Tabbed' interface. Nothing more
is needed, and this is a clean NB implementation suitable to task.

Sure, but we are not obliged to implement the UI designs of other office
suites. And as the NB MUFFIN framework was designed within constraints of our
UNO controls, devs and folks hacking on the features work with the tools at
hand--labeling for labeling's sake--is not provided in the framework. And most
labeling is pulled as attribute from the UNO control. Some contextual sense is
possible--and I am rather fond of work done on the MUFFIN NB 'Contextual
single'. While the 'Contextual groups' NB mode provides a passing semblance to
the MS Ribbon object model [1] it is not constructed with feature set MS
implemented their Ribbon with--notably lacking from our NB UNO framework is a
work-alike to the MS RibbonLable interface. Labeling beyond attributes of the
individual UNO controls is manually added by our NB designer/implementer.
Because it must be manually coded if it is not necessary, or detracts from
design/appearance, it is not included on our MUFFIN NB designs.
