Here is a simple mock-up of how the tabs might look:
   http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/devel-tabs.html

This is just a simple modification of the Plone global nav CSS, so 
should work fairly well with a large range of browsers.

The main changes I made were:

   * round the top left/right corners of the tabs (only works with
     Mozilla though)
   * centre the tabs, like in the above mock-up
   * make the selected tab merge in with the content below, rather than
     having a bar below the tabs like on most plone sites.

It still looks a little busy, so maybe could use a few more changes.

James.
