Nothing's wrong with that at all.  That's exactly the kind of policy we 
need to document.  I'd be satisfied with that one you say there.

If this MDI library goes into kdelibs, it would need to implement that 
policy by making all apps that use it SDI by default.  Then, all the other 
MDI apps (whether they use tabs or whatever) would need to move to that 
library and obey that SDI-by-default setting.
