I don't believe this is required; it's just how the template comes 
set up by default.  I would probably try to use the NSDocument 
architecture even if I were implementing a tabbed interface, rather 
than roll my own document architecture.  That way I'd still be able 
to leverage all of the things the document architecture gives me for 
free.

For example, I might try to create a subclass of NSWindowController 
that handles all of the tabbed-document interaction, have my 
documents interact with that, and have my document class override -
makeWindowControllers: to instantiate the proper window controller 
instance and wire it into the tab-handling machinery.
