 Yep and, unfortunately, they're used for both real tabs that toggle the
 visibility of in-page content and for links that trigger navigation to a
 new page. Those are two completely different interactions and they
 shouldn't look the same. It would be great to start considering some new
 design (in a separate ticket).
