I was thinking along the same lines for the same reasons. What could break
is apps detecting a tab switch by overriding AttachedToWindow() in their
top level tab views. (I don't know if there is such a beast.) Maybe we
should just go ahead and change it like you say. Maybe post this to the
development list in case someone has more input.
