Would it make sense, in this case, to make a checkbox that is displayed to admins in case the docextra tab is hidden? (maybe this would edit a webpreferences object?)
It seems to me that the desire to hide the docextra tab is for any page that displays some kind of summary: you'd expect the docextra function on "data pages" not on "summary pages"; i suppose this is likely to be the case of many other pages.
