Comment (by ubernaut):

 i thought i was misunderstanding you because the only place with existing
 tabs on that page didn't seem to make much sense. So yeah glad we are on
 the same page there. :)

 regarding the menu yes you are correct that the login/out/register button
 is usually in a separate menu (usually above and to the right at the very
 top of pages) and i do think having a widget option is good but the
 problem is that widgets are typically displayed far away from this area we
 are discussing. we cannot force a theme to have two menu areas it will
 have have as many as it does and i would agree as part of the regular menu
 is not ideal from a ui/ux perspective but in the vast majority of cases it
 will be far closer to where it belongs and more logically placed with the
 existing menu structure(s) then it would be by way of widget. i would also
 add that more and more themes are building multiple menu areas these days
 and in those cases we are very close to "the way its should be" for most
 sites.
