fluxbox-like tabs in openbox via tool ?

Hi! I am happy fluxbox user. Now I am tempted to switch to openbox, BUT I would miss tabs (=auto-grouped windows with tab ower group, like fluxbox - see http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/features/tabs.php).

I would like not to repeat things said elsewhere:
- I am aware that openbox developers are not going to add tabs into openbox itself (see this topic).
- I love fluxbox but I have my reasons to try openbox now. I have my reasons to use tabs (on notebook I use it to add tabs tp my favourite lightweight terminal, on desktop it can be used to have semi-tiling behaviour).  I don't want to start yet another "tabs - yes or not?" or "fluxbox vs. openbox" discussion.

So my QUESTION is: is there any way to get similar functionality into openbox via some tool? I was looking  for some tool that just creates window with tab-bar and allow other applications to be run inside, creating one tab for each.

I have a similar question — is there any way to get tabs working under OpenBox? I don't like Fluxbox for its name — "open" is a much nicer word than a "flux", which associates to me with some dark substance fluctuating in some high temperature…
