TemplaVoila is too critical for the business of many companies to break rules in its development. I expect that Niels will make a proper patch with this feature. I could take his patch, decipher it and add myself but it would (1) delay other features that I want to include and (2) take much more time than if he does it.

 You won't be able to break the big patch into pieces. You trust the 
patch or not, you trust my 2-months QA or not. I'm not going to 
re-program the features (which mostly anyway build upon each other), 
re-evaluate it's functionality, and re-test the environment over 2 
months on live-servers (which for example exposed a critical bug in the 
drag'n'drop [some body should mark *nh_tvdragndrop *as broken in TER] 
and several minor errors in TV itself). This is not about docHeaders 
(you know they are superclassed and you can fall back to tabs).

Just revert the changes on mod2/index.php if you want only the mapper, 
and not the details. It's age-old BTW ...
I got wiser since then, the code got wiser since then, I started 
full-localization and code-cleaning on the old code, moved functions, 
grouped functional blocks, comment and comment code-blocks, that's how 
it is. No way back.
