    I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to style an HTML 
element. True, you can't necessarily style the widget directly, since 
implementation of an HTML element is largely left to vendors, but you 
could certainly apply CSS properties to it, and perhaps even CSS 
properties that specifically refer to tabs.
