Yes, but it's a flawed analogy for "tabs" and their function.  You only 
think it works well in Safari because

a) Apple did it
b) You're used to it
c) You're probably an above-average user you translated Safari's tab 
analogy back to what you know about tabs.

Sorry, but I don't see the logic in upside-down tabs unless they're at 
the bottom of a document.
