This is how it used to be some time ago in MSO (and I think 
OOo): multiple documents tiled/cascading inside one program 
window, with *one set of toolbars and menus* - thus 
maximizing screen estate.

Can be confusing if the theme does not distinguish well 
between active/inactive documents, but quite productive if 
you got many or long toolbars (say Anapraseus for 
translations) arranged along the top of the main window.

Arranging two docs side by side with two sets of 
toolbars/menus make the menus wrap/be partially hidden.
