Use storage to store information about elements. If you have elements that
are related to each other (such as a tab related to the content it displays)
you should store the relationship on the prime element (i.e.
tab.store('section', section);). Store a list of references in your class as
a single array (so a tabs class has an array of tabs) and then use the
stored relationship to fetch the other elements.
Use classes for css styles and for optimizing selectors (i.e. you might have
a class called "tab" for tabs so it's easy to select $$('tabs')). You
should assign and remove classes for state (tab.selected) that can be
styled.
