Yes, that was my thinking. This seems like a setting meant for applications 
whose windows are a set of "documents", and where grouping the individual 
document windows into a single window as set of tabs make sense. It doesn't 
really fit for applications that have different top level windows that aren't 
documents that can be grouped together naturally into a single window with tabs.

That seems a good approach to me: make this an opt-in feature that applications 
could decide to use. And if you go that route, filing the RFE now is a good 
idea. In any case, I'll file an RFE for JavaFX as well.
