I also write the HTML and CSS for tabs when they are decided upon in an interface. Tabs, in order to look visually like tabs, need to be rounded at the top corners. The tab label needs to be able to expand depending on the font size selected by the end user. This would all be fine if browsers were able to round off corners. Mozilla and Webkit browsers use proprietory code to replicate what CSS3 will allow in interface designs. Internet Explorer unfortunately does not. As a result hacks have to be implemented to add images in the right places to provide rounded corners on each tab. Maybe you would like the button to be more responsive so a different colour is used for the mouse hover state - that is more images. Perhaps a selected state too? More images. This kind of development is costly.
