On the bottom toolbar, they are there to help visually indicate "ownership". "View Article" owns a "history" and a "more" sequence, as does "Discussion", etc. It's a way of doing sub-tabs within tabs, if that makes sense.

I envision there to be an animation sequence that moves things around so that it's more viscerally clear to the user upon activation. I just haven't gotten around to making a mockup that explains how it works.

I am currently playing around (deeply) with the "Gadget Gutter" in a mechanism similar to what Google Calendar does. It's tricky - we can put all our ugly bits there, and make sure it's always around (if needed). I hope to get more work on that later.

I'd really like to dive into what of those top menu elements are actually used often, and which ones are simply there due to historical cruft.
