Two downsides:
1. The markup for the menu must exist on all of the pages making it
difficult to manage changes. This can be offset by using server-side
includes (ssi), not exactly scripting.
2. The tab for the current page has an active link even though it may have
a different color. However, since the tab menu exists on every page, I
guess it would be no big thing to remove the anchor when adding the class.
