You can do this either way, of course - either separate substacks, or put
all the controls in a single stack and do a bit of fancy footwork in
preOpenStack to hide/show/move/resize controls appropriately. But I would
think in almost all cases the separate-stacks approach would be simpler.

Either way works for me. If you use multiple cards, you can create a group
out of the controls in the untabbed part, and place it on all the cards.
