Hmmm... 'tabbed folder' as in your pictures, since you can "embed" other
XFORMS objects *into* the folder.

Or, perhaps 'tabbed box' as it is also a "device" for grouping other
objects for visual appearance and functionality.

Basically we need to get over the "tab" idea AND the container function.
