QtMir needs extending to support multiple surfaces per application.
Unity8 will need to not rely directly on the ApplicationManager model
then, but form its own model of application surfaces derived from it.

Bug description:
  Related to bug #1198714 and design http://design.canonical.com/2014/05
  /the-browser-is-dead-long-live-the-browser/.

  I've a feeling that tabs in a phone factor browser are a bit
  shoehorned in, I'd actually be much happier having separate items in
  the right-edge spread for the open websites instead of introducing a
  second "axis" on which to switch between tabs.

  I remember it was a desire to "explode" tabbed UIs in the Super+S
  spread in Unity, but it was not possible technically. Maybe it could
  be made possible today?

  Whether tabs would exist grouped in the same right-edge stack, or as
  completely independent entities, remains to be investigated. Maybe
  we'd explode the tabs on touch or pinch or something. I just can't see
  the purpose of tabs if they're not readily available, which on a phone
  form factor would be a waste of precious screen estate.
