That's a good question.  Traditionally "go <stack> in window of <stack>" 
is a way of using a single window to display more than one stack.  In 
the context of the plugin I would imagine that to work similarly, 
providing the ability to use a single plugin instance to not just 
navigate between cards in a stack, but also different stacks.

My post was a reply to Richmond's comment lamenting the loss of 
palettes, but in reviewing this thread I can't find where Kevin said 
that was going away.

Did I miss that in his post, or is it mentioned in a Read Me somewhere, 
or is there merely a misunderstanding about the scope of things still 
being worked on and they do indeed intend to allow opening stacks in a 
new window?

Malte made some interesting points; I especially like this phrase:

    Actually for me it was a real Revolution to be able to
    break out of the browser box from within the browser.

I still think there are some potential usability issues with this and I 
  don't know for sure if there's a way the plugin can determine whether 
its running in the browser's current tab (I don't think so, but it would 
be nice to have and even better if it could be done without polling a JS 
function).

But I prefer a gun, a bullet, and a map to my foot more than 
limitations, so if they can provide it I'm sure it'll result in some 
interesting apps.
