 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.
