Okay, thanks for the pointer, this definitely helps.  I can at least
improve my situation with MMTabOptimumWidth.  From my testing it
appears that MMTabMaxWidth and MMTabMinWidth don't have any effect at
all which I suppose is inline with your further explanation:

I would definitely be in support of adding this as a hidden default
that people such as myself can turn on.  Who knows, maybe the issues
have been cleaned up in newer versions of OS X.  As far as following
Apple's standard behavior, I'm in full agreement as long attention is
paid to applying the standards correctly.  In the case of Safari vs
TextMate style tabs, I'd say they both get their respective use case
correct.  The difference in a text editor is that filenames tend to be
shorter with fewer outliers compared to HTML titles and URLs.  For a
programmer I think additional metrics apply such as greater likelihood
of common prefixes, and greater utility of maximizing the quantity of
onscreen tabs.

Anyway, just food for thought.  Thanks for the response.
