Dang! I knew this was coming. I thought about this for some time now and  
didn't find a good solution to add a tab here which is not Schema based.  
There was a thread on archetypes-devel about making interfaces and  
adapters for Schema and Field stuff, so you could add stuff here, but I  
don't know the state of it. The problem is, that this is one big form and  
currently only archetypes handles everything on save, ideally it would  
delegate the validation and mutation etc, so one could add custom fields  
here. We also would need to see how this works together with KSS inline  
validation, but if AT delegates, then it shouldn't be a problem.
