I personally think that multiple document interfaces are very good; hence one of the reasons I choose Opera over Internet Explorer.
However, I think the nicest way to do it would be using a press-button method similar to that of either Opera or mIRC. Also, like Opera, the user could specify whether they wish to use single or multiple document interface mode. This way both the current and new method could be employed. I don't believe you would need two tabs, one on either side like the image above - just one tab per session would be fine.
Perhaps something along the lines of this could help with being able to specify different settings for different connections. E.g. one tab could have a different speed limit to another.
However, even though this idea does appear good, I think it would require a lot of extra coding and therefore would be unlikely to appear soon, if at all.
Cheers.
