Just commited a new interface for editable widgets (midaseditor,
sourceeditor, etc...)

The following is subject to changes....

We now have a viewerwidget, which contains the tabs and the content of
those. All viewerwidgets should extend from 
genericviewer.xml#genericviewerbinding
so this would look like
	<binding id="articleviewerbinding"
extends="genericviewer.xml#genericviewerbinding">

for the articleviewer (in editorbindings.xml)

then <xul:tabs> needs an oncommand event:
<xul:tabs
oncommand='document.getBindingParent(this).onTabsClick(this);'>

in <xul:tabpanel>s, we need to make a widget for every "content" of a
panel:
 <xul:tabpanels>
   <xul:tabpanel flex="1">
     <xul:midaseditor flex="1" />
   </xul:tabpanel>
   <xul:tabpanel flex="1">
     <xul:sourceeditor flex="1" />
    </xul:tabpanel>
etc..

each of these widgets should inherir from
genericviewer.xml#genericwidget and  have to provide a method called
"update". This method has to do the update of the content of the method.
In sourceeditor this looks just like the following:

<method name="update">
  <body>
    this.content = this.parentWidget.content;
    return true;
  </body>
</method>

Furthermore, we need a property called "content". It has to have a
reader (parentWidget will read it) and can have a setter, if you want
use that internally (as above):

<property name="content">
  <getter>
    return(this.sourceFrame.value);
  </getter>
  <setter>
    this.sourceFrame.value = val;
   </setter>
</property>

That's about it, what's needed as public methods/properties for the
moment
