It's just matter of generating a little bit of fancy Javascript code.
Also while in general I agree that result looks nice, some features are
not general but tied to a specific content -- like this
Concept/Procedure/QuickReference tabs for Autodesk.

In fact for one customer who insisted on using DITA we have modeled
those tabs as separated topics which were linked together using
reltables. Similar functionality could be achieved by DocBook assemblies
currently discussed in DocBook TC.
