I see absolutely no problem with tabs for effects UI. If you wish you can consider them just semantic groupings that Inkscape chooses to show as tabs.
Exactly. I agree with that summary wholeheartedly.
I think things are set well in the visible UI. In the long run I can think of a minor shift in extension implementation.
At first I was thinking that we might want to shift it away from the containment of items inside of pages, and instead go with attributes on things to mark them as belonging to the same groups. Then as I was looking to tuning things up, I realized that the way things are in funcplot.inx at the moment could be one good way to present paged UI in an abstract manner. So things could go a few different ways internally.
So at the moment I think we can just think about two different things. First is what sort of things might extensions need to present in the UI. The second is various ways to represent those things internally. (The latter probably being more to the "internals geeks" like myself). Once people have time to ponder various aspects, we'll probably get some good insights from both sides.
